Women’s suffrage would not be introduced in Liechtenstein until 1984.
How many women voted while accompanied by their husband though. I feel like a lot of them could have voted no under pressure
Do you really look at the world today and have a hard time believing people would willingly vote against their interests?
Misogyny becomes so normalized and institutionalized in a culture that even women sometimes do things and vote against their own best interests. It wouldn’t surprise me if there were a surprisingly high number of women who voted no.
Case in point, how many Christian conservative women vote against a women’s right to chose whether to carry a child to full term?
How would the husband check? Voting is strictly secret punishable by law. It’s next to impossible to check what your wife actually put on the ballot. For a reason…
I doubt they were enforcing men not checking on what their wives voted on before it was even legal for women to vote
Of course they did. Did you ever vote?
How do you think that goes? “Hey you! Only one per booth! Oh, it’s a man. Is it your husband? Oh, I see your marriage certificate. Then it’s all fine.” for millions of couples? Come on…
You might want to check your facts.
Actualy, if you open the link, you will see that women outnumbered the men in the election (2507 to 2228). Out of the women who voted, 50.5% voted to for, so it was pretty split. Men were closer to 40/60 for/against, leading to the loss.
In short, if only women voted for, and all men against, women would’ve won.
Good. Nobody should have to endure suffrage.
Jk btw
God bless Liechtenstein.
