Britain 1906- 1918> Gaining Women’s suffrage > Big Question

Stage 1: Research

 Research the case studies in Gallery 4. Decide which groups contributed most effectively to achieving
the vote for women in 1918.
 When looking for evidence, remember to note the names, numbers and details of the sources.
 Also look for evidence about the combined effect of actions by the different groups. You could mark
this by circling evidence in a coloured pen or by using a coloured font.
 You could also think about where else you could find out more information about these groups (such as
other resources in the Learning Curve, on the internet, or in books or articles.
