Answer - A - Of these nations, Switzerland was the last to grant women the right to vote.

Key Takeaway: The last Western republic to grant women the right to vote, Switzerland finally passed a law that guaranteed this basic right to women in 1971. The Swiss referendum on women’s suffrage had been held years early, in 1959, but most of Switzerland’s men voted that women should not be able to vote. Although women were permitted to cast local votes in some areas, they did not get the right to vote in federal elections until the 1971 date.
