Celebrating 100 years of women's suffrage

100 years after the first women got the right to vote, we have made huge progress in advancing women’s rights, but there is still a long way to go.

Marking the Centenary, Councillor Lesley Rennie said: "The Centenary is a key moment in our history and the women who fought, and died would be proud of what we have achieved so far but it is a work in progress.

Elections and Voting
