Evaluation

Answer 5

In evaluation, the explanation for the granting of the vote to some women in 1918 has been that women’s valuable work for the war effort radially changed male ideas about their role in society and that the vote in 1918 was almost a “Thank you” for their efforts, But the women who were given the vote were “respectable” ladies, 30 or over, not the younger women who worked long hours and risked their lives in munitions factories.
