Women's vote confers wide-ranging benefits

By Maria Harrast | September 14, 2018

Women’s suffrage accomplished far more than simply giving women the right to vote, according to a new working paper. In “Who Benefitted From Women’s Suffrage?” published in August, three economists — the College’s Na’ama Shenhav, Bucknell University’s Esra Kose and Southern Methodist University’s Elira Kuka — found that economically disadvantaged children benefited significantly after women gained the right to vote. The researchers found that women’s suffrage increased children’s “educational attainment,” which includes how long they stayed in school and their literacy levels, as well as their future incomes.
