Thank you from me and my three daughters, none of whom would be able to vote without your fight so long ago for our right to do so

I Thank You from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for us who came after. I waited till I was twenty one to get the vote and have never failed to use it.

There’s much that is easy to take for granted and yet it’s really such recent history. Thanks to all who made stand then and now

Thank you so much for turning the tide.
Thank you to those who came after to continue the battle.
I’m not sure we’ve reached the finishing line yet but we are getting there.

Thank you all women who fought to get women the vote,
In it’s time it was a brave stand to take.??

M0nica if you haven't watched it do watch the Lucy Worsley programme and hear how many Bills failed over the years. The sufragettes didn't stop women getting the vote the men in power did.

matson Sun 10-Jun-18 17:20:49

Thank you

Chewbacca Sun 10-Jun-18 17:16:22

And thank you from me too.

MaizieD Sun 10-Jun-18 17:14:04

Thank you to all the women who fought for the vote for women; whatever group they may have belonged to.

trisher Sun 10-Jun-18 16:33:15

Thanks for being brave enough to break the law knowing you would be tortured and mistreated, because you believed in the cause.

M0nica Sun 10-Jun-18 16:32:48

No thank you to the suffragettes, Thank you to the Suffragists. We would have got the vote sooner if an organisation that would now be defined as a terrorist group had not been involved.
