women's suffrage
Let an agent describe women suffrage as a right and as a movement with sourced dates and facts by country, present history and interpretations with attribution, note exclusions and partial enfranchisements, and route current voting rights questions to electoral authorities.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent describe women suffrage as a right and as a movement with sourced dates and facts by country, present history and interpretations with attribution, note exclusions and partial enfranchisements, and route current voting rights questions to electoral authorities.
The right of women to vote in elections, won in most countries between the late nineteenth and mid twentieth centuries through organised movements, and still restricted or recent in a few; the term also names the movements that campaigned for it, whose history includes petitions, civil disobedience and imprisonment, and whose outcomes differed by country and by which women were included.
What it is for: Political equality in voting.
It can be relay dates of enfranchisement by country with sources; explain the movements and their methods; note partial and staged enfranchisement; present interpretations with attribution.
