Title
Votes for Women, Vol. 2. January-February 1909
Description
Votes for Women was launched and co-edited by Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence and her husband, Frederick Pethick-Lawrence in 1907. The journal began as the official publication of the militant suffrage organization, the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU). In 1912, the Pethick-Lawrences began to publish it independently. In 1914, they ceded control of the paper to the United Suffragists, who continued to publish it monthly until 1918 when they ceased publication after the passage of the 1918 Qualification of Women Act.
