True this was not Universal sufferage but it was a case where a state granted women the right to vote 100 years before NZ did.

There were a number of places in the world where women were able to vote in local body elections or under specific circumstances. However New Zealand was the first country have universal suffurage.

The women then said tanks by voting for prohibition during WWI and it was only the special votes from soldiers overseas that knocked it back.

Another example of being first doesn’t make it a good idea.
