First of all suffrage means the right to vote. In the time of war, nothing was going too well for most countries, mostly Britain. WWI had a big impact on the suffrage movement (for suffragettes and suffragists alike) because the country needed more people to contribute to the cause and to their country. Many casualties were there and people could not handle it. They needed a helping hand.

This is where the women of suffrage came in.

People argued about the consequences of letting Women contribute to the cause. Some felt they were only fit to be at home with kids domestically. Some thought that since they already vote in local elections, they should be allowed to in the nations elections.

So then, people thought about it, and why not?

After that, women were allowed on war fronts and also allowed to work in munition factories and were called munitionettes.

The Suffragettes campaign for women's voting rights was suspended during the World War 1- as their efforts were aimed at war work.
