- Reasons why some women got the vote in 1918
- By doing men's work during the war they'd proved they were just as capable as men and just as important to public life
- Nobody wanted the Suffragettes to start their violent campaigning again
- Attitudes in Britain had changed
- The voting system had to be changed anyway due to soldiers returning home from the war
- In 1918 the Representation of the People Act gave women over 30 the vote if they owned property
- This was extended in 1928 to give all women over 21 the vote
