We’re approaching the centenary of this monumental act in 2028. What would a meaningful anniversary look like to you? What should heritage organisations prioritise or showcase? We’d love to hear your thoughts. #EqualFranchise #PublicHistory #GenderHist

🗳️ #OTD 2 July 1928: The Equal Franchise Act received royal assent in the UK, granting all women over 21 the vote—regardless of property.

It gave women electoral equality with men, adding 5 million to the roll and making them the majority in the 1929 election. #VotesForWomen #Suffrage #GenderHist
