1. Women's Rights In The World - Law
First, choose a region. I recommend to scale countries equally, as it makes analysing data easier. Then choose a country and the area of women's rights you're interested in. All the sources are listed directly in the chart. It's important to rememember that while colors do picture the level of each region's/country's gender equality, in some cases the data could not be provided (marked by a ? sign or N/A notice).

Choose a mode, year (by sliding the yellow/blue/red circle on the axis) or country to see data specified for given factors. PLEASE NOTICE: all of the years of women gaining the right to vote are the years which represent a legislation that granted them the said right on a national level (for example, in Wyoming, US, the suffrage was legalized in 1869, while nationwide in 1920). However, this may not represent the existing state of affairs, e.g. in China women are allowed to be elected, but because of the political regime there it is practically impossible.
