In what year did women gain the right to vote in the UK?

Women in the UK gained the right to vote in 1928, which marked a significant milestone in the women's suffrage movement. This was the result of a long struggle for voting rights, encompassing various campaigns, protests, and advocacy efforts that spanned several decades. Prior to this, the Representation of the People Act 1918 had granted voting rights to women over the age of 30 who met certain property qualifications, but it was not until the Equal Franchise Act of 1928 that women were granted equal voting rights with men, allowing all women over the age of 21 to vote. This legislative change represented a pivotal moment in achieving gender equality in the political sphere, ensuring that women could fully participate in democratic processes.
