Question: When were women given the right to vote in the country that recognized Gaddafi's government early, along with the country US gets most of its oil from?

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 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. 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. <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. 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. 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. <SEP> In May 2011, the country became a net exporter of refined petroleum products. In total energy consumption, the U.S. was between 86% and 91% self - sufficient in 2016. 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. <SEP> mercedes sola (1879–1923) was a puerto rican writer, educator, and activist for the rights of women. along with isabel andreu de aguilar (1887–1948) and ana roque de duprey (1853–1933), sola was a feminist recognized in 1917 for the founding of the puerto rican league of women. sola, andreu de aguilar and roque de duprey, along with others, brought about the passage of the country's suffrage bill. she was one of the main architects of the suffragette campaign in puerto rico from the 1920s, and was a leader of the puerto rican woman's suffrage association. in 1922, she published "feminismo", in which she demanded the woman's right to vote in the society of his country; it is considered a landmark text in contemporary feminism. she was also co-founder of the feminist magazine "women of the twentieth century", which aimed at defending the rights of women. <SEP> the late 1980s saw a series of liberalising economic reforms within libya designed to cope with the decline in oil revenues. in may 1987, gaddafi announced the start of the "revolution within a revolution", which began with reforms to industry and agriculture and saw the re-opening of small business. restrictions were placed on the activities of the revolutionary committees; in march 1988, their role was narrowed by the newly created ministry for mass mobilization and revolutionary leadership to restrict their violence and judicial role, while in august 1988 gaddafi publicly criticised them, asserting that "they deviated, harmed, tortured" and that "the true revolutionary does not practise repression." in march, hundreds of political prisoners were freed, with gaddafi falsely claiming that there were no further political prisoners in libya. in june, libya's government issued the great green charter on human rights in the era of the masses, in which 27 articles laid out goals, rights and guarantees to improve the situation of human rights in libya, restricting the use of the death penalty and calling for its eventual abolition. many of the measures suggested in the charter would be implemented the following year, although others remained inactive. also in 1989, the government founded the al-gaddafi international prize for human rights, to be awarded to figures from the third world who had struggled against colonialism and imperialism; the first year's winner was south african anti-apartheid activist nelson mandela. from 1994 through to 1997, the government initiated cleansing committees to root out corruption, particularly in the economic sector.
