[[Women's suffrage in the United Kingdom|From 1918]], with the rest of the United Kingdom, women in Ireland could vote at age 30 with property qualifications or in university constituencies, while men could vote at age 21 with no qualification. From separation in 1922, the [[Irish Free State]] gave [[Equal voting|equal voting rights]] to men and women. ["All citizens of the Irish Free State (Saorstát Eireann) without distinction of sex, who have reached the age of twenty-one years and who comply with the provisions of the prevailing electoral laws, shall have the right to vote for members of Dáil Eireann, and to take part in the Referendum and Initiative."]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1922/act/1/enacted/en/print|title=electronic Irish Statute Book (eISB)|last=Book (eISB)|first=electronic Irish Statute|website=www.irishstatutebook.ie|access-date=July 10, 2019}}</ref> Promises of equal rights from the Proclamation were embraced in the Constitution in 1922, the year Irish women achieved full voting rights. However, over the next ten years, laws were introduced that eliminated women's rights from serving on juries, working after marriage, and working in industry. The 1937 Constitution and Taoiseach [[Éamon de Valera]]’s conservative leadership further stripped women of their previously granted rights.<ref name="The Sisterhood of the Easter Rising">Walshe, Sadhbh (March 16, 2016) [https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/17/opinion/the-sisterhood-of-the-easter-rising.html The Sisterhood of the Easter Rising]. ''New York Times''.</ref> As well, though the 1937 Constitution guarantees women the right to vote and to nationality and citizenship on an equal basis with men, it also contains a provision, Article 41.2, which states:

{{blockquote|1° [...] the State recognises that by her life within the home, woman gives to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved.

2° The State shall, therefore, endeavour to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home.}}
