In what year did women in the UK gain the right to vote at the age of 21?

Okay, let's talk about women's suffrage in the UK. The fight for women's right to vote was a long and hard-won battle, spanning decades. While 1918 is a significant year, it's important to remember it didn't grant equal voting rights. The Representation of the People Act in 1918 allowed women over the age of 30 who met certain property qualifications to vote. This was a huge step, acknowledging women's contributions, especially during World War I, but it wasn't full equality. The age and property restrictions meant many women were still excluded. It wasn't until the Equal Franchise Act of 1928 that women finally achieved the same voting rights as men, being able to vote at the age of 21, without any property ownership requirements. So, while the other dates represent steps along the way, 1928 is the landmark year when full and equal voting rights were finally extended to women in the UK. Think of it as the culmination of the suffragette movement's efforts during the "Roaring Twenties."
