The first mention of a franchise! for women in Great Lritain occurs in | the Poor Law Act of 1824 during the | reign of William 1IV., which provides that the Guardians of the Poor viero to be elected by ratepayers, without | any special distinction as to sex. In| 1851 the rirst petition of women suff- | ragists was drawn up at a public | meeting held at Sheffield in 1851 and | this was presented to the House of Commons, while in 1866 John Stuart Mill presented another bill for the enfranchisement of women Rowse | 1869 on the motion of | John Bright, the word "male" was | omitted from the Municipal and Cor- | porations Elections--A¢t and women | appear henceforth as municipal vot. | ers. . . » In the following year| the Local | Government Act, which pi up school | boards, was passed. This right was taken away from the women in 1902 | when the duties 'of school boards! were handed over to the county | councils to which women could not | be elected. In 1870 Miss Becker was | chosen a member of the Mancheste | School Board and Miss Garrett (af- | terwards Dr. Garrett Anderson) and | Miss Davias were elected to. the Lon- | don Board. In 1875 occurred the first | election of a woman as a Poor Law Guardian. Woman Suffrage was pass- ed by the .lsle of Man Parliament (The House of Keys) in 1881. It was accepted with modifications by the Council the following year. Woman Suffrage was rejected by Britisk Commons after a debate in 1884. In| 1886-it passed its second reading and | was thereafter blocked. No further | debate -occurred until 1892. At that} time it was defeated on the second { reading by a narrow majority. The | Local Government Act of 1894 gave! women the suffrage and eligibility to | 'hold office in the Urban and Rural | | year { women were granted the franchise, |.
