When did the British Parliament extend the right to vote to women.
During 1916-1917, the House of Commons Speaker, James William Lowther, chaired a conference on electoral reform which recommended limited women’s suffrage. In 1918 the Representation of the People Act was passed which allowed women over the age of 30 who met a property qualification to vote.
It was not until the Equal Franchise Act of 1928 that women over 21 were able to vote and women finally achieved the same voting rights as men.
