# German Women's Suffrage Established

> Germany granted women the right to vote following the collapse of the Kaiser's regime, making it among the first major European powers to enfranchise women and reshaping Weimar electoral politics.

## Summary

The roles of German women have changed throughout history, as the culture and society in which they lived had undergone various transformations. In the past and in the present the situation of women has differed between German regions, notably during the 20th century, when West Germany and East Germany had different political and socioeconomic organization. In addition, Southern Germany has a history of strong Roman Catholic influence.
