Without the first World War British women would not have gained the right to vote in 1918? I agree with this statement

they would have to ask the government, they could not do it without

hearing demands for social reform. If a woman worked in business they

cannot leave any duties at home they had to make sure all duties at

home came first on top of anything else.

Source B- An argument in favour of votes for women. I agree with this

source as it speaks the truth in 1900?s it didn?t matter if a woman

was a doctor, or a businesswoman, or a mayor she still could not vote.

Whereas if a man was a convict, a lunatic or a drunkard they would

still have the chance to vote, whereas a woman no matter how high her

position she would still not get the vote.

Source C- An argument against votes for women from a speech made in

912 by Lord Curzon, a conservative leader. I disagree with source C

because it is saying women do not have any experience to work, that

women have no education and are weak and have no strength to do the

jobs that men do. Also in this source it says that the vote would not

be fair if women got the vote, as there would be more women voters. It

would also be affecting the government because if the women did get

the vote it would have a major impact on the government, as it would

slightly be sexist, as more women would be voting.

Source D: Men and women Unites in a common cause. Source D is the

cover of the war worker magazine, June 1917. Source D is a source,

which shows that men and women can be united, working together, side

by side to help out their country. It shows that women can work just

has hard and can do the same jobs as men. The men needed women to help

them in factories. This source is a picture source from a magazine it

tells you how women helped during the war. When the war broke out

women got to prove to people that they could work as hard as men and

were as strong as men.

Source E: Male attitude to women workers during the First World War

this source is form War and Society in Britain 1899-1948, by Rex Pope,

a historian, 1991. This source tells you about how men felt about

women workers. Men?s attitude to women working was not very good; it

was a negative source to the women working. They did not like the

choice of women working with them or working in political jobs. The

men hated the fact that women were working, as at that point fewer men

were working, which meant that the men had to go and fight in the war.

Men feared they might lose their jobs, as more women were more capable

at the jobs some men did not like the fact that they had to work side

by side with women.

Source A and D is a positive influence for the right for women to

vote. It tells you that women have strength to work in the same jobs

as men. Source A tells you that it is not fair just letting the men

work in political work women should have a chance in political work

and should have a chance to speak up and have their views across.

Source D is a magazine showing men and women are united, they can work

side by side together as equals. It shows that women can do the same

jobs as men and can work as hard as men. It also shows that women want

to help support their country and help them to win the war.

Source C and E are negative sources to the right for women to vote.

It tries to give you reason why women shouldn?t work. It also shows

male attitudes toward women working. It says how men feared they might

lose their jobs as a lot of women were given the same jobs as men.

In all the sources above there has been negative reason on why women

should not get to vote and positive reason why they should. In my

personal opinion I think that men and women should be treated as equal

and that men are just as capable as women and the same applies for

men. I think that women are strong and tough enough to do the same

jobs as men.
