Women and Politics: Interwar British History

Articles and letters in the centenary issue of the political and literary magazine Time and Tide are useful material for British domestic politics in the interwar period, particularly on the changing role of women (including the 1928 franchise act) and reactions to the international situation in the 1930s. These notes concern a few of the articles and letters reprinted in the centenary issue of Time and Tide, which is available here. These notes give teachers more information, while students are given some context to enable them to position the evidence, have some understanding of cause and effect and use their own knowledge / carry out research.

These notes and the student worksheets can be used to support A / AS Level History Edexcel Route H: Democracies in Change – Britain Transformed 1918 – 1997, AQA 2M: Wars and Welfare: Britain in Transition and OCR Britain c. 1918 – 1951.
