PS. Women and Men did not get the _same_ rights to vote at the same time. 1. The act for the right to vote didn't happen until WWI was nearly over, and 2. Only women over 30 (with heavy restrictions most of which tied to being married to a man) were allowed to vote when that bill was passed in 1918. The bill passed in 1918 allowed _all_ men over 21 to vote, and if you fought in the war, it was reduced to 19+. So saying, "No strings attached" is completely incorrect. They couldn't even fight to gain their voting rights if they wanted to since the bill only allowed for men 19/20 to gain those rights if they fought.
The article even states that if you had read more than the first paragraph.
Edit: Also you act as though women did _nothing_ in WWI to deserve the right to vote. Yes they weren't forced to fight in the front lines and did not die by the millions, but they weren't exactly at home twiddling their thumbs waiting for the outcome. They were in factories, hospitals and doing non-combatant roles to help the war effort. Is that any less a contribution especially given the attitude in those days that women shouldn't be fighting?
