    I know rural western states in the u.s. like Montana gave women the right to vote early since there gender ratios was heavily male and they wanted to attract more women to the state. Australia was probably in a similar frontier stage at that point so I wonder what there gender ratios were then.

      You’re probably thinking of Wyoming. Wikipedia: The first state to grant women the right to vote had been Wyoming,[6] in 1869, followed by Utah[7] in 1870, Colorado in 1893, Idaho in 1896, Washington[8] in 1910, California[9] in 1911, Oregon[10] and Arizona[11] in 1912, Montana in 1914, North Dakota, New York,[12] and Rhode Island[13] in 1917, Louisiana,[14] Oklahoma,[15] and Michigan[16] in 1918.[17]

      Nationwide in the US, it was 1920.
