Historical Reflections on Votes, Brooms and Guns: Admission to Political Structures-on whose terms?
Abstract
This paper examines theoretical and historial links uniting feminism and antimilitarism in a particularly interesting and rich period in the history of the women's movement, between 1910 and 1918, principally in England, in relation to the issue of women's right to vote. The campaign for the right to vote was at its height between 1906 and 1914 when the first world war broke out and changed the campaign. This paper considers the terms under which women, who gained the right to vote toward the end of the war in several countries, were permitted to participate in the political system.Metrics
