Turkey and Iran were the Muslim states in the Middle East that granted greater rights to women before 1980. In Turkey, women were granted the right to vote in 1934 and were given equal civil and political rights in 1950. Similarly, in Iran, women were given the right to vote in 1963 and were granted greater legal rights in the 1970s. Other Muslim states in the region, such as Saudi Arabia and Yemen, did not grant women the right to vote until much later, in the 21st century.
