Out of Context
New Zealand: 1893
Australia: 1902
Canada: 1917
Denmark: 1915
Germany: 1918
Why are these countries and dates relevant? Well, these are the years that these countries passed their Women's Right to Vote.
The u.s. passed a bill for Women's Right to Vote in 1920. The united states was established in 1776. Why did it take so long?
It took the u.s. an average of 11 years (based on the examples given) to meet a standard for women that should have been an inalienable right.
There is still a glass ceiling, stereotypes, and gender inequalities that must be destroyed but remember that you do not have to sell out to achieve what YOU define as success.
Create your own definitions.
