Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
I'm Alice.
And I'm Neil.
The BBC's 100 Women's Season is back this week.
It will explore women's stories of defiance and it will include stories of women who inspired us.
And that's what we're going to talk about today.
And which woman has inspired you, Alice?
Oh, well, I have many female role models.
And this means people look to you by others as examples to be followed.
But I must say, I have a great admiration for the suffragettes.
Ah, the women who fought for the right to vote in the UK.
Yes, I think they were very brave.
Yes, so do I.
Let's see how much you know about it, Neil.
This is today's quiz question for you.
Which was the first country to give all women the right to vote in public elections?
Was it A, Finland, B, New Zealand, or C, the United States?
Hmm, I am going to say A, Finland.
