Women's Suffrage
In the 1800s, women weren't allowed to vote. Organised suffragist campaigns began to appear in 1866 and campaigns continued for many years, with some members becoming more militant when their views were ignored.
It wasn't until 6 February 1918 that legislation allowed all women over 30 who owned a property the right to vote. This vote also gave all men over 21 the right to vote. It wasn’t until 1928 that men and women could vote on an equal footing.
