Women and the Vote

The First World War facilitated significant advancements in women’s rights, particularly the right to vote. By 1918, women over 30 were given the vote, and this age limit was extended to all women over 21 in 1928. Various groups played key roles in this movement, with different approaches to activism. While some resorted to violence, others focused on social reform. The suffrage movement faced opposition, and even today, the matter of women in leadership roles continues to be a topic of debate.
