Women in Turkey obtained the right to vote and be elected in municipal elections in 1930 and in parliamentary elections in 1934. This is way before French women in 1944, Italian women in 1945 and Belgian women in 1948.
A Quote from Ataturk
I am convinced that the exercise of social and political rights by women is necessary for mankind's happiness and pride. You can rest assured that Turkish women together with world`s women will work towards world peace and security. M.K. Atatürk - 22 April 1935
A Quote from Ataturk
"Mankind is a single body and each nation a part of that body. We must never say 'What does it matter to me if some part of the world is ailing?' If there is such an illness, we must concern ourselves with it as though we were having that illness."
