@modemeyes It didn't. Women got the vote after their loyal service during the 1914-1918 war. Accounts at the time suggest that the suffragettes were quite often a nasty lot (violent and unpleasant - particularly towards the police) and did not have much support - from either sex. They may be popular with modern "feminists" but were regarded with contempt by the generally socially conservative Britishers of the day.
