Definition

  • The Federaçào Brasileira para o Progresso Feminino (FBPF) (Brazilian Federation for the Advancement of Women) was a national organization that successfully fought for women's suffrage in Brazil. Due to FBPF efforts, a 1932 civil code extended the vote to women under the same conditions as men, making Brazil the fourth country in the Western Hemisphere to franchise women.
