Question (regarding Women and State)

1. Canada and Switzerland granted women voting rights in the late 1900s. Those countries are depicted as westernized and modernized. Why did they approve of women’s suffrage so late?

2. According to Pettman, socialist feminists suggest considering not only gender interests for the state, but also class, race, and ethnic interests. Do they mean that we need to rethink the structure of power in the state in terms of intersectional multiple discrimination, not only through the gendered way?
