Women's suffrage in Britain bundle - Why did women get the vote in 1918?

This bundle is a five lesson scheme of work on the women’s suffrage movement in Britain. All five lessons aim to enable students to answer the advertised ‘Big Question’. The lessons begin in Victorian England to enable students to develop an understanding of the reasons women in England would want voting rights; they continue by looking at the actions of the suffragists and suffragettes; and go through to the women’s role in WW1.

This is an ideal unit to include after a study of the First World War. This scheme is tried and tested and recently updated. All lessons were designed with the requirements of the National Curriculum in mind.
