British Suffrage Movement

The British Suffrage Movement was a social and political campaign in the late 19th and early 20th centuries aimed at securing the right to vote for women. Activists, including notable figures like Emmeline Pankhurst, organized protests, rallies, and various forms of civil disobedience to demand equality at the ballot box. The movement faced significant opposition, but its persistence led to gradual reforms. Women over 30 gained the right to vote in 1918, and by 1928, all women 21 and older achieved equal voting rights with men, marking a significant advancement in gender equality in Britain.
