When were women finally granted the right to vote in provincial elections in Quebec?

Discover Canada records this in one direct sentence about provincial suffrage. The guide writes: Quebec granted women the vote in 1940. The year the test wants is therefore 1940.

The named year completes the suffrage chronology. Discover Canada commits Quebec to a specific year — 1940 — at the END of the provincial-suffrage chronology. Manitoba was first in 1916, the federal government extended limited voting rights in 1917 and broader rights in 1918, but Quebec did not follow until 1940 — a full 24 years after Manitoba's lead. So Quebec was the last Canadian province to extend the provincial-level vote to women.

Most Canadian women already had the federal vote by 1918. Discover Canada commits the federal-vote chronology to TWO key years: "In 1917, thanks to the leadership of women such as Dr. Stowe and other suffragettes, the federal government of Sir Robert Borden gave women the right to vote in federal elections — first to nurses at the battle front, then to women who were related to men in active wartime service. In 1918, most Canadian female citizens aged 21" and over were granted the right to vote in federal elections. So by 1918 most Canadian women could vote federally — but each province controlled its own provincial elections, and Quebec did not extend the right until 1940.

The wider suffrage tradition. Discover Canada commits the suffrage movement's named founder to Dr. Emily Stowe, "the first Canadian woman to practise medicine in Canada." The 1916 Manitoba victory and 1917–1918 federal advances grew out of this organised movement. Aboriginal voting rights followed a separate timeline — Discover Canada records: "In 1948 the last of these, the Japanese-Canadians, gained the right to vote. Aboriginal" — meaning ethnic-minority voting rights, including Aboriginal voting, were extended in subsequent decades. So the 1940 Quebec extension was one milestone in a longer process of expanding democratic participation in Canada. The 1940 Quebec date is significant in Canadian women's-rights history because it marked the closing of the provincial-suffrage gap. After Quebec extended provincial voting rights to women in 1940, Canadian women had the vote at every level of government in every province. So when the test asks when Quebec finally granted women the right to vote provincially, the source-precise answer is 1940.

The question is testing whether new citizens know the year Quebec extended provincial voting rights to women. Discover Canada commits to one year: 1940. The right test answer matches that.

The wrong answer choices each pick a different year. The first choice is the year when most Canadian women received the federal vote — but Quebec's provincial extension came much later. The second choice is not named in the source for any provincial-suffrage event. The fourth choice is too late — the source places Quebec at 1940. Only 1940 — the source's exact named year — matches.
