Women's Suffrage. From Grolier. The struggle to achieve equal rights for women is often thought to have begun, in the English-speaking world, with the publication of Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792).
Why some women gained the vote in 1918. The Representation of People Act became law in February 1918. From that point on women over 30, who were occupiers of property or married to occupiers, were entitled to vote. This was seen as a major success for women's suffrage and was also popular with the general public.
