Let the bells ring out. A hundred years ago this February, British women won a great war. Not the Great War: Germany wouldn't agree the armistice that ended World War I for another nine months. The Representation of the People Act, which gained royal assent on February 6, 1918, signified a different kind of surrender, by the male political establishment to the suffragists and suffragettes who had fought -- sometimes literally -- for the right to vote. The new law enfranchised women and heralded a greater victory still: Full equality.
