A Long and Illustrious HistoryThe 20th Century

In what year did all women over 21 gain the right to vote in the UK?

  1. 1918
  2. 1928
  3. 1921
  4. 1930

Why this is the correct answer

Women over 30 had received limited voting rights in 1918, but full equal voting rights were only granted to women over 21 in 1928 through the Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act. This brought women's voting rights into line with those of men.
