The History of Women’s Vote
Resources at Library and Archives Canada
Before the outbreak of the First World War (also known as the Great War) a hard-fought battle was already being waged by women in countries such as Canada, Great Britain and the United States of America. Although women in these countries were bound by their nation's respective laws, they were denied any direct voice in changing them. Those who supported the idea of women's suffrage (political franchise or the right to vote) were known as suffragists. The suffragettes, or female suffragists, of this era were unprecedentedly organized, vocal, and at times, disruptive in their efforts to protest the inequality that women faced.
