womens_suffrage_date.csv
This indicator was build based on the data about the year of suffrage in a given country taken from the Inter-Parliamentary Union Website. For several countries more than one date was provided (for example, the right to be elected and the right to vote might be granted in two different dates). We kept the last date when both vote and stand for election rights were granted, with no other restrictions commented. Some countries were colonies or within a union of the countries, as for instance, Kazakhstan in the Soviet Union. For these countries, the rights to vote and be elected might be technically granted two times -- within a union and as an independent state. In this case, we kept the first date. It was difficult to decide on South Africa because its history shows how racism was very entangled with women's rights. We kept the latest date when also Black women could vote. For Nigeria, considering the distinctions between North and South, we decided to keep only the North data because, again, it was showing the completeness of the country and it was the last date. For countries where data was missing, data was added from the World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Report 2006, as reported in FH's article.
