Question: When did women get the right to vote in the major power that, along with the country that produces most of its own oil, recognized the government of the man who's face was most closely associated with Libya's new government, at an early date?

In May 2011, the country became a net exporter of refined petroleum products. As of 2014, the United States was the world's third - largest producer of crude oil, after Saudi Arabia and Russia. and second largest exporter of refined products, after Russia. In total energy consumption, the U.S. was between 86% and 91% self - sufficient in 2016. <SEP> in an attempt at reform, eritrean government officials and ngo representatives have participated in numerous public meetings and dialogues. in these sessions they have answered questions as fundamental as, "what are human rights? ", "who determines what are human rights? ", and "what should take precedence, human or communal rights?" in 2007, the eritrean government also banned female genital mutilation. in regional assemblies and religious circles, eritreans themselves speak out continuously against the use of female circumcision. they cite health concerns and individual freedom as being of primary concern when they say this. furthermore, they implore rural peoples to cast away this ancient cultural practice. additionally, a new movement called citizens for democratic rights in eritrea aimed at bringing about dialogue between the government and opposition was formed in early 2009. the group consists of ordinary citizens and some people close to the government. <SEP> some women in the isle of man (geographically part of the british isles but not part of the united kingdom) gained the right to vote in 1881. though it did not achieve nationhood until 1907, the colony of new zealand was the first self - governing country in the world in which all women had the right to vote in, but not to stand for, parliamentary elections in 1893, followed closely by the colony of south australia in 1894 (which, unlike new zealand, allowed women to stand for parliament). in sweden, conditional women's suffrage was granted during the age of liberty between 1718 and 1772. <SEP> After the 1969 coup, representatives of the Four Powers – France, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union – were called to meet RCC representatives. The U.K. and U.S. quickly extended diplomatic recognition, hoping to secure the position of their military bases in Libya and fearing further instability. Hoping to ingratiate themselves with Gaddafi, in 1970 the U.S. informed him of at least one planned counter-coup. Such attempts to form a working relationship with the RCC failed; Gaddafi was determined to reassert national sovereignty and expunge what he described as foreign colonial and imperialist influences. His administration insisted that the U.S. and U.K. remove their military bases from Libya, with Gaddafi proclaiming that "the armed forces which rose to express the people's revolution [will not] tolerate living in their shacks while the bases of imperialism exist in Libyan territory." The British left in March and the Americans in June 1970. <SEP> The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 led to a suspension of all politics, including the militant suffragette campaigns. Lobbying did take place quietly. In 1918, a coalition government passed the Representation of the People Act 1918, enfranchising all men, as well as all women over the age of 30 who met minimum property qualifications. In 1928, the Conservative government passed the Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act giving the vote to all women over the age of 21 on equal terms with men. <SEP> Gaddafi remained the government's public face, with the identities of the other RCC members only being publicly revealed on 10 January 1970. Although theoretically a collegial body operating through consensus building, Gaddafi dominated the RCC, although some of the others attempted to constrain what they saw as his excesses. All young men from (typically rural) working and middle-class backgrounds, none had university degrees; in this way they were distinct from the wealthy, highly educated conservatives who previously governed the country.
