	::The 1918 Representation of the People Act::
		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.

		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).

	Virginia Woolf Suffrage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		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.
		However, the law effectively suggests that British lawmakers thought unmarried women without university educations or land ownership were the equivalent of lunatics and felons, and even university-trained women would not be free of this dangerous derangement until after their thirtieth birthdays.
		In 1928, the year of this essay's publication, the age difference and other restrictions were removed, and both men and women 21 or older could vote.
