Handbill calls for voting rights for women on the “same terms” as men.

The WSPU was a women’s voting group that became famous for its radical and sometimes violent tactics. This leaflet outlines some of their demands in measured reasonable and language and emphasize that they believe “a woman shall not be refused a vote simply because she is a woman.” They go on to list prerequisites for voting which men in the UK had to achieve & assert that there are over a million women who meet these same standards and would become enfranchised. Light scattered stains. Handling creases along left edge, and crease in bottom right corner.
