Women in Parliament

In the second half of the nineteenth century, the women took their right to vote. Since then they tried to widen the franchise nearly every session, without success. In 1918, Countess Constance Marlcieviez  was the first women elected to The House of Comman but she did not take her seat in protest against Britain’s policy in Ireland. In 1919, Viscountess Nancy Astor elected and take her seat. However, Margaret Bandfield was the first Ministry under Secretary in the ministry of labour in 1924. In these days there are around 143 female MPs out of a total 650 members of parliament.
