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.
Dedication: "To the brave women who to-day are fighting for freedom: to the noble women who all down the ages kept the flag flying and looked forward to this day without seeing it: to all women all over the world, of whatever race, or creed, or calling, whether they be with us or against us in this fight, we dedicate this paper."
