A movement to fight for women's right to vote in the Philippines started as early as the 1890s during the Philippine Revolution and persisted during the United States administration of the islands. Women's suffrage was first granted in 1933 through Act No. 4112 but was revoked with the adoption of the 1935 Constitution. Women were only able to practice their right to vote in the 1935 plebiscite which ratified the constitution. The women's suffrage movement succeeded after Filipina women granted it to themselves in a 1937 national plebiscite.
