Abstract

Following the republican revolution of October 5, 1910, to claim the women's suffrage became a topic of debate, involving women's organizations, politicians, parliamentarians (deputies and senators), governors, ministers, heads of government, Presidents of the Republic, judges and courts. The discussion lasted for sixteen years the 1st Republic and, at first, the rupture of powers was favorable to the suffragists’ aspirations. Once the institutional situation was normalized, the disappointment came, at the refusal of the restricted voting rights for women.
