This Seminar Study was the first book to trace the British womens
suffrage campaign from its origins in the 1860s through to the
achievement of equal suffrage in 1928. In this second edition,
Smith provides new evidence drawn from the authors research on how
the main post-1918 womens organisation (the NUSEC) worked with
Conservative Party women to persuade the Conservative Party to
endorse equal franchise rights. Smith focuses on the actions of
reformers and their opponents, with due attention paid to the
campaigns in Scotland and Wales as well as the movements in
England. He explores why womens suffrage was such a contentious
issue, and how women gained the vote despite opponents fears that
it would undermine gender boundaries. Suitable for students
studying the Suffrage Movement, modern British history and the
history of gender.
