This collection explores the aftermath of the Representation of the
People Act (1918), which gave some (but not all) British women the
vote. Leading experts explore the paths taken by former-suffragists
as well as their anti-suffragist adversaries, the practices of
suffrage commemoration, and the changing priorities and formations
of British feminism in this crucial era. In considering how
generational conflict informed the contested legacy of suffragism,
these essays examine the impact of universal suffrage on the main
political parties. Were the hopes and ambitions invested in women's
and universal enfranchisement realized or dashed? How did those
concerned evaluate the outcome as the years wore on? And why did
the attainment of full adult male suffrage in 1918 became
overshadowed by the seemingly more momentous achievement of women's
suffrage?
