#OnThisDay, 14 Dec 1918, some women across the UK vote legally in parliamentary elections for the first time. It's the culmination of decades of campaigning.

Only women over 30 who held some property rights were allowed to vote, whereas all men over 21 could vote.
It was another decade until women had equal voting rights as men.
