UK 1918 : vote partiel des femmes

A Royaume-uni, une partie des femmes accèdent au droit de vote en février 1918.
Les autres devront attendre 1928 pour avoir le droit vote

in 1918, Parliament passed an act granting the vote to women over the age of 30
who were householders, the wives of householders, occupiers of property with an annual rent of £5,
and graduates of British universities. About 8.4 million women gained the vote
In November 1918, the Parliament (Qualification of Women) Act 1918 was passed,
allowing women to be elected into the House of Commons.

By 1928 the Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act extended the voting franchise
to all women over the age of 21, granting women the vote on the same terms as men.
