The Battle for Votes for Women

Witness History

Available for over a year

The suffragettes who led the campaign for the women's vote in Britain were brave and determined. Many of them told their stories to the BBC. To mark the anniversary of the first election in which women voted, Witness replays some of those voices. Picture: Suffragists in 1913, Credit: Getty Images
