Question

When did all women get the vote in the UK?

Answer 1

1918....

Answer 2

Not long enough ago.

Answer 3

Representation of the People Act 1928 - this made women's voting rights equal with men, with voting possible at 21 with no property restrictions.

Answer 4

Women in the UK did not get full voting rights until 1928 - partial rights were given in 1918. The first place in the world to give women the right to vote was Wyoming Territory (in 1869).

Answer 5

I believe it was 1928, don't  forget that most men couldn’t vote till after the first world war too. By US standards we only became a democracy in 1919 (I think it was 1919). Prior to this you had to own land to vote, something the workers could never dream of in the class system that was the UK.

Just think, the majority of those soldiers who died for their country on the Western front were not entitled to vote, very sad.

The Suffragettes were mainly middle class, educated women, and were not campaigning for the vote for all, only the middle class women’s group, there were obviously exceptions to this with even a few working class women amongst their ranks.

The first world war killed off most of the toffs and the country realised it had to change, the vote was gradually permitted to various sections of society and eventually women. Britain was never a good example of a democracy, is it still? God bless the Queen and the extended Royal family?

Answer 6

They haven't. The Queen can't vote.

Answer 7

Women can vote?

I'm disgusted! next they'll be letting the ethnics have a vote too...

Answer 8

All women in the UK weren't allowed to participate in  electoral processes until 1928. The struggle to get this right can be divided into two, a moderate and another radical. At first, The National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies acting within the strictest legality and the Social and Political Union of Women  who organised hunger strikes against the regime prevented them to exercise their electoral rights. I think this struggle has improved the  history of the United Kingdom.

Female descendents of the Bounty mutineers were allowed to vote for their ruling councils on Pitcairn Island from 1838 and on Norfolk Island from 1856.

By the above years, even the common men of UK did not have the vote - blimey!

Answer 10

not until 1928 that the voting age for women was lowered to 21 in line with men.

Answer 11

Soon after Emily Pankhurst died in 1928.

Answer 12

Women achieved *full* equality in the right to vote in 1928.

Women over the age of 30 who owned property got the right to vote in the UK in 1918 when the 1918 Representation of the People Act was passed.
