Marking the centenary anniversary of (some) women getting the right to vote, this free exhibition looks at the campaign for women’s suffrage.
Discover the timeline of events that led to women winning the right to vote, the organisations and individuals involved and the torture that women endured. You can also read how winning the vote opened the door for women to enter the world of politics, nationally and locally, with many women active in politics today.
