In February 1918 the Representation of the People Act gave the parliamentary vote to (some) British women for the first time. A further change in the law ensured that as well as voting, women were able to stand as candidates at the next general election in December 1918. As we move towards the centenary of these two events, public interest in their origins is growing. Our project will capitalise on this interest through disseminating those findings from two previous AHRB projects (Angela Smith's 'Suffrage Discourse during World War One' 2003) and (Cowman's 'Paid Organisers in the Women's Social and Political Union', 2004) that relate to the work of suffrage organisations during the First World War leading up to the Representation of the People Act 1918 and the first election involving women candidates. Working in partnership with VOTE100, the official parliamentary project to mark these anniversaries, we will organise a series of carefully planned events. Through three workshops/panel discussions with invited speakers and public audiences we will consider the impact of the war on suffrage campaigns, the historical and contemporary gendering of politics and the broader social implications of this. A significant display at Westminster marking the centenaries followed by a contribution towards a major exhibition will enhance the impact and reach of our previous research. The outcomes of the project will be further disseminated through joint pamphlet and booklet publications authored by the project team and stakeholders.

1918年2月，《人民法》的代表首次向（一些）英国妇女进行了议会投票。法律的进一步改变确保了妇女能够在1918年12月的下届大选中担任候选人。随着我们朝着这两个事件的百年纪念迈进，公众对她们起源的兴趣正在增长。我们的项目将通过从前两个AHRB项目（Angela Smith的“ 2003年第一次世界大战期间的选举权话语”）中传播这些发现来利用这一兴趣。与纪念这些周年纪念的官方议会项目的投票100合作，我们将组织一系列精心计划的活动。通过与受邀演讲者和公众观众的三场研讨会/小组讨论，我们将考虑战争对选举权运动的影响，政治的历史和当代性别以及对此的更广泛的社会影响。威斯敏斯特（Westminster）的重大展示标志着百年代表，随后对大型展览的贡献将增强我们先前研究的影响和影响力。该项目的结果将通过项目团队和利益相关者撰写的联合小册子和小册子出版物进一步传播。
