"Manifesto to the women voters of Great Britain" [EP0099], 1922
Leaflet produced for the 1922 general election by the National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship, whose president was Eleanor Rathbone. The manifesto demands include equal franchise [women were still restricted by a higher age limit and an occupational qualification], equal pay and opportunities, recruitment of more women police officers, legal rights for wives and mothers [including custody of children, maintenance, pension rights] and support for the League of Nations. Women voters are urged to question all candidates on these issues. |
