- There are many single women and widows who bear the same responsibilities as men.

- Women have increasing opportunities in education and work - the vote should come next.
- Women pay taxes just like men.
- Women should be able to influence MP's on how that money is spent.
- Many uneducated working men can vote while well educated, 'respectable' women can't.
- Women have special skills and expertise. They can help Parliament to make better laws on issues such as education and the home.
- Women can already vote in local elections. They are apart of education committees and Poor Law boards. This shows that they can be trusted with the vote.
