How Important a part did Women’s War Work Play in the Decision to Grant Votes for Women?

Women gained the right to vote over the age of 30 in 1918, just after the First World War.   We are questioned, the reason for women getting the vote, was it the First World War?   We are now to think were there other events considering, could there have been other factors for women’s vote.    Women have been fighting a long difficult sixty desperate years for their rights. These factors do include between the two suffrage groups; each took part for the involution of the vote.   When war broke out all women stop campaigning, this forward onto the women’s war effort – working class and lower, began work which covered the jobs that men did.   Before this women campaigned for their rights.   This covered from petition, marches and peaceful debates to government party electives.   Also some women burned houses, spat at policemen and Politicians, and involving some most violent marches and protesting.

Leading to the end of the war, when the majority of women got the vote, was the vote a reward for women war work?
