Summary

Description
English: Women members of the Constituent Assembly of Lithuania (Kaunas, 1920). Sitting from the left: Emilija Spudaitė-Gvildienė, Gabrielė Petkevičaitė-Bitė, Magdelena Draugelytė-Galdikienė; standing from the left: Ona Muraškaitė-Račiukaitienė, Salomėja Stakauskaitė. Lithuania was one of the first countries in the world to grant women a right to vote in the elections. Lithuanian women were allowed to vote by the 1918 Constitution of Lithuania and used their newly granted right for the first time in 1919. By doing so, Lithuania allowed it earlier than such democratic countries as the United States (1920), France (1945), Greece (1952), Switzerland (1971).
Lietuvių: Steigiamojo Seimo narės Kaune, 1920 m. Iš kairės sėdi: Emilija Spudaitė-Gvildienė, Gabrielė Petkevičaitė-Bitė, Magdelena Draugelytė-Galdikienė; iš kairės stovi: Ona Muraškaitė-Račiukaitienė, Salomėja Stakauskaitė. Lietuva viena pirmųjų šalių pasaulyje suteikė moterims teisę balsuoti rinkimuose. Lietuvos moterims balsuoti leido 1918 metų Lietuvos Konstitucija, o naujai suteikta teise pirmą kartą pasinaudojo 1919 metais. Lietuva moterims balsuoti leido anksčiau nei tokios demokratinės šalys kaip JAV (1920), Prancūzija (1945), Graikija (1952), Šveicarija (1971).
