I suppose I should have posted this on March 8, but what the heck, here we go anyway. Make of this information whatever ye wish.
Utah was one of the first territories in the United States were women got the right to vote. The year was 1870. The reason? The patriarchal Mormon regime wanted a better image and knew that all Mormon women would vote for the (male) Mormon candidates.
The micro-nation of San Marino had the only Communist-dominated government in Western Europe from 1945 to 1957. It was overthrown in 1957 during the so-called Fatti di Rovereta. Peculiar fact: women didn´t get the right to vote until seven years *after* the Communists had been overthrown by the Christian Democrats?!
