Abstract
In 1928, after almost a hundred years of struggle against the prejudices, religious bigotry and fears of men, British women achieved full voting rights; their long battle against second-class citizenship seemed to be at an end. In the House of Commons, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin spoke this epitaph on the suffragette movement: The subjection of women, if there be such a thing, will not now depend on any creation of law, nor can it be remedied by any action of the law. It will never again be possible to blame the Sovereign State for any position of inequality. Women will have, with us, the fullest rights. The grounds and justification for the old agitation is gone, and gone forever.1
