Edith Palliser edited the first issue of the Women's Suffrage Record, a monthly periodical published in London.

She writes of selling suffrage papers in the street as involving the hateful experience of verbal sex filth from elderly men in particular, and describes how factory girls from a food-processing plant—less perhaps out of hostility than high spirits, and amusement at seeing middle-class women experiencing the harsh realities of life—lobbed over-ripe tomatoes at the vendors.

Ethel Fenwick (also known as Ethel Gordon Fenwick or Mrs Bedford Fenwick) was Matron of St Bartholomew's Hospital from 1881 to 1887. She resigned when she married Dr Bedford Fenwick, and became an activist for nursing reform and women's suffrage. She founded in 1899 the International Council of Nurses , the oldest international association of professional women, in 1894 the Matrons' Council of Great Britain and Ireland , and in 1902 the Society for the State Registration of Nurses .

The Women's Franchise, which featured contributions from major societies within the suffrage movement and from individuals, ceased publication in London.

John Wilkes , in a plan for parliamentary reform, put forward a proposal for universal male suffrage; Richard Price had recently, in Observations on Civil Liberty, also proposed abolishing the House of Lords .

Suffragist and biographer Lady Frances Balfour (née Campbell) published Ne Obliviscaris. Dinna Forget, her memoir of the fight for women' suffrage, titled from the Campbell clan motto.

Charlotte Despard edited the first issue of The Vote: Organ of the Women's Freedom League, a weekly magazine from London covering a range of feminist issues, including suffrage.

The International Council of Women met in Berlin and formed the International Woman Suffrage Alliance ; Carrie Chapman Catt became its first President.

Labour came in twenty-six votes ahead of the Conservatives in the first general election with full women's suffrage: the prospect of voting by women under thirty brought the demeaning nickname of the Flapper Election. Eleanor Rathbone was elected as the first Independent woman Member of Parliament.

Keller had no language until, when she was seven, her teacher Anne Sullivan (who was herself near-blind) taught her to understand the word water by linking the symbol for it with holding her hand under a water-pump. Keller went on to become a scholar of languages, to graduate from Radcliffe College , and eventually to visit countries all over the world as an ambassador for radical and feminist political causes, including those of suffrage and birth control. The phenomenally popular autobiography may have played its part in keeping public interest focussed on her early struggles to the exclusion of her adult work.
