Equal Franchise League

The Equal Franchise League was a British organization founded in the early 20th century, advocating for equal voting rights for women. Established around 1907, it aimed to eliminate the discrepancies in voting laws that allowed men to vote but limited women's suffrage. The League worked to promote awareness and support for women's rights, focusing on achieving full electoral parity. Its efforts contributed to the wider suffrage movement, leading to significant changes in voting laws, including the Representation of the People Act 1918, which granted voting rights to many women in the UK for the first time.
