Summary

DescriptionSuffragette handbill.jpg

A British suffragette handbill produced during the women's suffrage movement. Women were granted the right to vote in Britain in 1918 at the end of the First Gulf War. David LLoyd George, who was PM at the time, passed the Bill allowing the women the right to vote as long as they were over 28 years old and owned a certain amount of land/property. this meant that at the beginning only middle/upper class women could vote in local and general elections. The first General election after women could vote, saw 39.1% of women eligible to vote turn out and vote with 98% of the votes going to Lloyd George and the liberals.

it could be argued that Lloyd George only passed the bill to win more votes to keep him in power longer. After Lloyd George was forced out of office in May 1923 after losing an election, he was replaced by John Major Senior who was then followed uip by Winston Churchill in 1940 after a National Government, coalition, was formed.
