Women's Rights: 1600 to Present

In 1897 the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies had been formed. This brought together 500 local organisations with more than 50,000 members, many of them men. Millicent Fawcett became the President of the NUWSS and remained so until 1919. The NUWSS used peaceful and constitutional methods to try to win the vote for women. ................
