women did a lot of war work in place of the men who were fighting, such as go in the mines, metal work factories, munitions factories etc, which were previously considered a man's job. before the war, politicians didnt want to gove women the vote as they had a separate sphere to men, but after the war, women proved they could do a "man's" job so the spheres were destroyed.
During the war, the WSPU stopped their violent attacks to focus on the war effort, so the government were more likely to give peaceful protestors the vote, as before they didnt want to be seen as giving into terrorists.
David Lloyd George was made new PM after Asquith and he was a lot more sympathetic towards their cause, and was apparently one of their leading supporters in the government (even after the WSPU tried to blow up his new house in 1913).
Finally, there was more pressure on the British government from other countries, as America, New Zealand, and Australia had given the vote to their women, so the British government didnt want to be seen as falling behind other, less developed countries.

∙ 10y agoWW I helped to advance the cause of woman's suffrage. During WW I when large numbers of men entered the military, there was a labor shortage as a result, and it became necessary to employ women to fill in for men who were away. Previously, it was widely believed that women should only have the role of housewives and were not well suited to any other role. When it was seen that women could do work that was previously done by men, this added to the understanding that women do have the full range of human capabilities, and are not just appendages of men.
