suffrage and WomensEnfranchisement

[SusanBrown]

The latter should be folded into the former but it is not. Seems to be connected to Harriet Taylor

WomensEnfranchisement should be deprecated in favour of suffrage ? @SusanBrown

[SusanBrown]

Yes. The definition for it is totally wrong: it refers to South Africa. Also the definition for suffrage is wrong in our context too: please replace with the dbpedia entity for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage

[SusanBrown]

In fact, it would probably be best to provide our own definition as follows (excuse my haste in not doing it myself):

The right to vote in public, political elections, also called political franchise, or simply franchise. As a political cause, it can refer to the granting or extension of the vote to any sector of the population of a country, such as the extension of the vote to a wider range of men in Britain over the course of the nineteenth century, starting with the Reform Act of 1832. Most references to suffrage as a political cause in the British context, however, refer to the campaign for women's suffrage, the right of women to vote in elections. Advocates of female or women's suffrage were called suffragists or suffragettes.

This definition is indebted to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage

Same as: dbpedia for Women%27s_suffrage

Can this be closed now, @alliyya ? or do changes need to be made to extraction as well before it can be closed?
