Women's suffrage in Austria

Women in Vienna voting for the National Constituent Assembly in February 1919

Women's suffrage was introduced in Austria on 12 November 1918 with the foundation of the Republic of Austria after the fall of the Habsburg monarchy with the end of World War I. While men had gained the right to vote in the years of 1861 until 1907, women were explicitly excluded from political participation since the February Patent in 1861.[1][2] Only unmarried landholding women were allowed to vote, before 1907.
