WOMEN'S RIGHTS

It is exactly 100 years ago today that women in Denmark got the vote. This required a change to the country's Basic Law, so it was fitting that it took place on 5 June, which is Constitution Day (and is nowadays a half holiday).

The changes in 1915 also allowed wage earners (as opposed to property owners) to get the vote. But that is not what is remembered.
