Explanation

French women gained the right to vote in 1944 through an ordinance of the French Committee of National Liberation, first voted in the April 1945 elections, and this right was confirmed by the 1946 Constitution of the Fourth Republic. 1789 (French Revolution), 1872 (Third Republic era), and 1891 (Belle Epoque) are far too early - France did not grant women's suffrage until after WWII, later than many other Western nations.
