Follow the decade-long journey from partial suffrage to equal voting rights. This StoryMap reveals how the period from 1918 to 1928 reshaped British democracy.
Between 1918 and 1928, Britain experienced a significant democratic transformation. The Representation of the People Acts enacted during this period expanded the electorate and redefined the concept of citizenship. PhD student Abbie Tibbott is currently finalising her thesis and has brought the story of franchise expansion to life through a new digital project. This StoryMap outlines the journey from partial female suffrage to full voting rights for women, examining the campaigns, legislation, and social changes that influenced this progression. By utilising historical sources and visual storytelling, it emphasises how the fight for equal voting rights not only represented a political victory but also redefined political citizenship in modern Britain.
