Carolina Beatriz Ângelo
Carolina Beatriz Ângelo
Carolina Beatriz Ângelo was a Portuguese physician and the first woman to vote in Portugal. She used the ambiguity of a law, that issued the right to vote to literate head-of-households over 21, to cast her vote in the election of the Constituent National Assembly in 1911. Shortly thereafter, on July 3, 1913, a law was passed to specify the right to vote was only for male citizens, literate and over 21. Her act was widely reported on throughout Portugal and among feminist associations in other countries.
