Women's Suffrage in Liechtenstein

Did you know that women in Liechtenstein could not vote until 1984, the latest of any European country?  And that when they did have a referendum on it, it only passed with 51.3% of the vote, and that's with 86.2% of the eligible population (only men) voting.  The difference was a mere 119 votes.
