In 1925, voting rights varied significantly by country. In the United States, women had only recently gained the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, but many African Americans, particularly in Southern states, faced numerous barriers that effectively disenfranchised them. In the United Kingdom, the Representation of the People Act 1928 extended the vote to all women over the age of 21, aligning their voting rights with those of men. Overall, voting rights in 1925 were still very much influenced by factors such as gender, race, and social class.
