Why did women get the vote in 1918?

Answer 1

Women through the centuries have been treated as second class citizens. Traditionally due to gender roles, women have been the ones who stayed at home and took care of the house and children. Since women tended to stay at home, they were less likely to go to meetings. As a result, women traditionally did not vote, as they were not present.

As the modern day came about, women demanded a more active role in the forming of a society. However, due to traditions, eg from The Bible, men discriminated against women. Some men condescendingly considered women unable to make the correct decisions in order to vote. Women have become more integrated into all parts of society, particularly during war-time. As a result women were eventually given the right to vote in most places in the world.
