The day after the November 1918 armistice, the Liberal-coalition government led by David Lloyd George announced the date of the next General Election – the first at which women would be able to vote. Okay, only some women, but after the years of militant suffragette activity, it was a victory of sorts; even if a partial victory.
The story of how Manchester women led the campaign for parliamentary reform to allow women to vote a hundred years after Peterloo is one of the most fascinating in English history.
New Manchester Walks are hosting this celebratory walk, Monday 12 November, 2pm from Central Library.
