The British Government's Disregard Towards Women in Democratisation Process from 1832 to 1918
This work is concerned with the British Government’s disregard towards women in the democratisation process in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries purposely showing the negative impact of the traditional view of women by men in the current political sphere. From the historical perspective, the results have proved that the British Government has developed some unfair behaviour vis-à-vis women, which excluded them from political life for several years. Moreover, after a long struggle between the people and the Government, Parliament voted for the First Reform Act in 1832. This Act gave the right to vote to some men from the Middle Class, but no particular attention was paid to women's cause. Warned of this disqualification, women decided to rise up and claim their rights, but this would not be a simple affair. In the long run of time, men alike women, made up their minds to vigorously attack the Government.
