Suffragism in the United Kingdom

Suffragism in the United Kingdom was the movement advocating for women's right to vote, primarily active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It involved organized campaigns, protests, and advocacy to challenge societal and legal barriers that excluded women from electoral participation. The movement comprised both peaceful methods, like petitions and demonstrations, and more militant actions. Persistent efforts culminated in 1918 with the Representation of the People Act, which granted voting rights to women over 30 who met certain property qualifications, and later in 1928, full equal voting rights with men.
