Women's Liberal Federation

Catherine & William Gladstone

The Women's Liberal Federation was an organisation which was part of the Liberal Party in the United Kingdom during the 1880s.

During this period women became more active in politics. The Women's Liberal Federation attempted to make the Liberal Party introduce a measure which gave women the vote. This did not occur until 1918.
