Votes for Women
2018 is the centenary of the 1918 Representation of the People Act, the law that gave the first women the right to vote in the UK. Commemorate the 100th anniversary with displays and events at the Museum of London. See our incredible Suffragette collections and read articles about the struggle for female suffrage. Whilst the display itself closes on 10 March, we have great events taking place until 27 March.
