Female suffrage

Female Suffrage

In the middle of the 19th century women began to fight for the right to vote. One of the most famous supporter was John Stuart Mill, Member of Parliament. However, the First Women's Suffrage Bill (1870) was defeated. The following years several groups emerged, fighting forcefully for female suffrage. In 1918 woman finally got the right to vote, but only if they were at least 30 years old.
