English Women's Suffrage Movement

The English Women's Suffrage Movement was a social and political campaign from the late 19th to early 20th century, aiming to secure voting rights for women in the United Kingdom. Activists, including prominent figures like Emmeline Pankhurst, organized protests, marches, and sometimes militant actions to draw attention to their cause. Despite facing significant opposition, their relentless efforts culminated in partial success in 1918, when women over 30 gained the right to vote. This represented a pivotal step toward gender equality, paving the way for further reforms, including equal voting rights in 1928 for all women over 21.
