Episode 4: ’Not Practical Politics’ - Women MPs, Parliament and the Flapper Vote

The 1918 General Election was the first time that women could be elected to parliament. But it would be another 10 years until women could vote on the same terms as men. In this episode we speak to Dr Mari Takayanagi, historian and senior archivist at the Parliamentary Archives, about the later years of the suffrage campaigns and the first women MPs.
