		The 1918 Representation of the People Act gave women of property over the age of 30 the right to vote — not all women, therefore, could vote — but it was a major start.
		An argument put forward for the inclusion of a female suffrage section in the 1918 Representation of the People Act is that the work of the Suffragettes and the suffragist movements pre-1914 had been important.
		The 1918 Representation of the People Act gave all men over the age of 21 the right to vote (and aged 19 if the men had been on active service in the armed forces).

	A Vote of Their Own
		The passage of the Representation of the People Act in 1918 in England was the culmination of over seventy years of women's suffragist work.
		Though the act enfranchised only women over thirty who were "householders, the wives of householders, university graduates or occupiers of property worth L5 per year" <1> as well as men over twenty-one, it was-the first legal affirmation of the parliamentary rights of women in England.
		The hopes of women suffragists came true on January 11, 1918 with a debate that "attracted the largest House which has been seen since the beginning of the war" <42> followed by the passage of the bill.

		There are still some sums due in respect of registers prepared under the Representation of the People Act, 1918, before the passing of the Electoral Act, and provision is made for the payment of such claims as are yet to be presented.

		Although a later act limiting election expenses levelled the playing field to some extent, it was not until 1948 that the 500,000 extra Business votes, generally possessed by people inclined to support the Conservatives, were abolished.
		One such act would be Tory opposition to reform of the increasingly unrepresentative, and therefore anachronistic, House of Lords, both in 1968 and under the present government, based on the idea of its role as one of the country's great institutions.
		Their record since 1918, of having formed, or been the dominant partner in, the government for fifty-four years out of a possible seventy-five is a testament to their abilities both to win, and to retain power.

	Virginia Woolf Suffrage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Although women could own property and might attend college, they still were not allowed to vote in England or America until the second decade of the twentieth century.
		The "Representation of the People Act" of 1918, to which Woolf refers somewhat slightingly on page 37, gave the vote to men of 21 and over except peers (titled aristocrats), lunatics, and felons, and to married women, women householders (single mothers), and women university graduates of 30 and older.
		The differences in qualifications for men and women voters suggests a great deal about how women's minds were understood to differ from men's, and what sorts of circumstances might eliminate that difference.
