Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer

Question Why did it take so much longer for British women to gain the vote?

Expert Teacher Answer

During the 19th century, a system of separate spheres existed, whereby women were expected to look after domestic issues , whereas men were seen to be in control of business, industry and politics. At the start of the 19th century not all men had the vote - indeed the political system was flawed- with big towns like Manchester and Liverpool having no MPs whilst rotten boroughs often returned 2!. Several groups campaigned for change - and there many disturbances in the period after 1815. There was seen to be a sense of injustice with men like Henry Hunt looking for a shift of power to the working classes. Events like the Peterloo Massacre and the Spa Fields Riots showed the government how dangerous working class radicalism could be, and in 1832 the Great Reform Act was passed - extending the vote to men in boroughs, and giving larger towns more representation in Parliament. The Act did disappoint though, and groups like teh Chartists forced more changes in 1867 and 1884 - extending the vote to more men. Women had been involved in the campaign for the extension of the vote, although few called for female suffrage at that time. Gradually however, women like Jospehine Butler, Harriet Taylor and Emmeline Pankhurst began to symbolise a growing discontent with the position of women in society and throughout the latter half of the 19th century, legal changes began to occur which allowed easier access to divorce, custody rights over children and the ability to own property. Gradually, attention turned to political reform. If more men were getting the vote, why not women? Organisations like the Suffragists and Suffragettes organised petitions and demonstrations, and when these failed the Suffragettes turned to violence. These tactics did not impress male politicians who imprisoned Suffragettes that committed violent acts. Once in jail these women then went on hunger strike and were forcefed, bringing more sympathy to their cause. World War One proved to be a decisive factor in the campaign for the vote as women threw themselves into war work, making munitions and filling in for the men who were away. This work won the admiration of the politicans and when the war was over they extended the vote to men over the age of 18 and women over 30. This did not please all women, but it was the beginning of more political changes
