Wikipedia says 1930s for women’s civil rights in Spain, which I count as recent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage_in_the_Span...

It also takes generations for the rights to fully take effect, for example women being refused services by sexist men or hitting glass ceilings at work.

Even in the US, I can see very different changes in the treatment and expectations of my older women cousins who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s versus those who grew up in the 2000s and 2010s.

Same laws, but the rate of change from those laws accelerated as older generations died out and critical mass in the population with the new views takes hold.
