There are three main reasons why women got the vote, these are the work of the suffragists, the work of the suffragettes and World War 1.
Probably the least contributary was the suffragists. But what they did do was start the campaign for the right to vote, they gained support of many men and MP's, and they took a role of an iceberg - slow but effective.
The second most contributary was the suffragettes. What they did was use more violent methods which were effective and well liked by women, as Millicent Forcett a famous suffragist said "They did as much in 12 months as we did in the same number of years."
But this changed when they almost got the Concilliation Act passed until at the last minute it was rejected by the then PM Asquith. After this they used more violent methods such as pouring acid on golfing greens and destroying electric cables, this greatly lost them popularity and was a huge step back.
The main reason why women got the vote was the war, this is because in order to not be defeated Britain needed ammunitions and so women worked hard in factories producing arms, and did much better than men thought they would. This gained the respect of many men and gave the PM a reason to give them the vote.

∙ 12y agoWomen wanted the vote in Britain to get equality within society. Many felt that if women got the franchise then they would be able to influence the laws that government passed. If they could do this then they could get laws passed that would better their lives and thus make them more equal to men.
