Do you have any sources for this? last i heard their government styles where mostly monarchy...

A lot of sources, I can put all here but it will be off topic. I have studied the Etruscan several times in my life and It is well know the women were very important, even the Greek Historians from that time used to describe the Etruscan as liberals.

from wikiepedia:

Lets take some examples:

- Ancient Athens, all Athenian born men(men of two Athenian parents), not women..
- Ancient Rome, Men given voting rights (depending on birth status, somewhat similar to Athens) not women.

Middle ages:

1) Those are isolated examples, lets take this example:
Etruscan society:
-Women lead the house economy.
-Women can keep her name
-Women can be religious and political leader.

2) In ancient Rome there were a lot of men with no rights, basically everybody that was not a Pater (house father) didnt have rights.
Roman boys living with their fathers were no citizens until they didn't get their own house.

- Non-Sufferage rights from 1700's onwards:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timelin...than_voting%29
Modern times (Voting):

Its not that men had the right to vote that is the main issue, its that women have since the beginning of recorded history had less rights in the same time frame as men, thus being an unequal society in terms of legals matters, social matters is another thing all together..

It is an achievement of the democracy, Feminist had nothing to do with that.

If it were an achievement of the feminism, it is very wrong. Because women are entitled to vote for being human beings and not for being women.

Universal suffrage is a reality.
Female suffrage, is a myth because no one ask the gender at the moment of the inscription.
