"The road to suffrage in Ireland was a difficult one not without its share of battles. At a time when Ireland was experiencing rebellions, risings, and civil war, it is easy to overlook the plight of the women who wanted to have a say in the future of their country." #Ireland #genealogy #womensrights #genealysis https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/news/chronicles-insight-road-suffrage
Chronicles Insight - The Road to Suffrage
The right to vote was extended to all women in Ireland in conjunction with the formation of the Free State in 1922. Prior to this, a law was introduced in 1918 in which only women aged 30 and over were allowed to vote, and even then only if they or their husbands held property amounting to at least £5 in worth at the time.
