CE 1928 - Women gain equal rights to vote.

The Representation of the People Act of 1928, also known as the Equal Franchise Act, was passed in the United Kingdom in June 1928.

This Act gave equal voting rights to all women over the age of 21, regardless of their property ownership.

This meant that all women over 21 were now eligible to vote in parliamentary elections.

The Act also allowed women to stand for parliament for the first time.

The Act was a major milestone in the fight for women's rights and equality in the UK.

Prior to this Act, women had been denied the right to vote in general elections and could only vote in local elections.

This Act was a major step in the UK towards gender equality and it was seen as an important step towards a more democratic society.
