The finding aid which makes up a part of Women in The National Archives enables researchers to quickly locate details of documents held at The National Archives, UK relating to women. This finding aid is far more detailed and extensive than anything available elsewhere online and has the benefit of ranging across all of the classes held at the archive.

The original primary source documents cover the campaign for women's suffrage in Britain, 1903-1928 and the granting of women's suffrage in colonial territories, 1930-1962. The addition of four significant HO 45 files on the suffrage question plus an extended chronology further enhance the collection.

These original documents are valuable for those teaching courses on: The Campaign for Women's Suffrage in Britain, 1903-1928 and The granting of women's suffrage in Colonial territories, 1930-1962.

Women in The National Archives is part of Archives Direct, a cross-searchable multi-product platform, sourced from The National Archives, UK.
