Life in the UK Exam 10
Why were women given the right to vote?
Correct Answer: In recognition of the contribution women made to the war effort during the First World War
In 1918, women over 30 were given the right to vote in recognition of women's contribution to the war effort during the First World War.
This was formalised in the Representation of the People Act 1918, following decades of campaigning by the Suffragette movement.
