The fight for women's right to vote - UKwas a complex journey marked by various influential factors,... Show more
This section examines how changing social attitudes, particularly regarding women's education, contributed to the suffrage movement. It discusses the impact of key education acts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The 1880 Education Act mandated schooling for girls aged 5-10, while the 1902 Education Act led to a significant increase in girls' grammar schools. By 1914, the number of secondary schools for girls in England had more than tripled compared to 1904.
Highlight The expansion of girls' education helped advance the cause for women's suffrage by improving their understanding of the world and bringing them closer to equality.
However, the effectiveness of this factor is questioned, as much of girls' education still focused on traditional domestic skills rather than subjects that would directly support arguments for voting rights.
Example Girls were often taught skills like cookery, needlework, and childcare, rather than subjects that might prove them "worthy" of the vote.
The section concludes that changing attitudes were a contributing factor but not the main reason for partial women's suffrage by 1918.
This page analyzes the role of the suffragist movement in the fight for women's voting rights. The suffragists, led by the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), adopted a legal and peaceful approach to campaigning.
Their tactics included organizing petitions, distributing pamphlets, and publishing newspapers to convince politicians and the public to support their cause. This approach earned them respect from many Members of Parliament (MPs) and helped turn opinions in favor of women's suffrage.
Quote "The suffragists' legal and peaceful approach earned the respect of many MPs."
Highlight The NUWSS was successful in winning support from important MPs and was credited with shifting parliamentary opinions towards women's suffrage.
However, the effectiveness of the suffragist campaign is debated. While it impressed many British people, including men, and demonstrated women's capability to organize nationwide, it was also criticized for being slow-moving and easily ignored by politicians.
The section concludes that the suffragist campaign was a contributing factor to some women winning the vote by 1918, but not the main reason.
Vocabulary NUWSS - National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, the main organization representing the peaceful suffragist movement.
International Influence on British Suffrage
This page examines how other nations' adoption of women's suffrage influenced the British movement, creating a comprehensive Women's voting rights timeline.
Example New Zealand granted women's suffrage in 1893, followed by Australia in 1902 and Norway in 1907.
Highlight Britain's position as a global power made it particularly sensitive to appearing less democratic than its colonies.
This page introduces an essay examining the factors that led to some women getting the right to vote in the UK by 1918. It sets up the historical context of women's status in Victorian Britain and outlines the key points to be discussed.
The introduction highlights that while Factor X (not specified) was important, other elements like the suffragists, suffragettes, changing social attitudes, and international examples also played a role. It suggests that Factor Y may have actually been the most significant.
Highlight In Victorian Britain, women were considered second-class citizens with fewer rights than men, despite some holding respectable jobs like nurses, teachers, mayors, and doctors.
Example Men could be criminals and still have the right to vote, while women in powerful professions could not.
The essay structure is outlined, indicating that changing attitudes, the suffragist campaign, and the suffragette movement will be analyzed in detail.
