In 1918, women in the UK gained the right to vote through the Representation of the People Act. The eligibility criteria stipulated that women must be at least 30 years old, be British subjects, and meet certain property qualifications. This limited the vote to a specific demographic, excluding younger women and those without property. It wasn't until 1928 that women gained equal voting rights with men, allowing those over 21 to vote regardless of property ownership.
