I don't think you can call a country that excluded women from voting and held large numbers in slavery a democracy. The 19th amendment was passed in 1920.

The first country to grant women the right to vote in national elections was New Zealand in 1893. 27 years later.

So 1893 is 27 years later than 1920?

If that’s where you get the inspiration for your grammar, I can see why you have such difficulty speaking my language Maybe go back and read it again, but this time pretend you don’t know what you’re talking about
