Editing Women's suffrage (section)

====Jordan====

The [[Arab Women's Federation]] under [[Emily Bisharat]] worked for the introduction of women's suffrage in Jordan in the 1950s.<ref name="auto5"/>

Suffrage were given to educated women in 1955, but the Federation continued to campaign for universal suffrage for women, collecting the thumb prints as signatures from illiterate women in support for women's suffrage.<ref name="auto5"/> 
Universal women's suffrage was finally granted in 1974. However, since no elections was held in Jordan until 1989, women's suffrage was not enforced until that year.
