| Annotation | Five women (photographs by Nicola Kurtz) recall their participation in the 1929 general election, the first time for women to vote, without being excluded by age, social standing or education. It contrasts their experience of this pioneering time with the current behaviour of women, and the electorate in general, towards participation in the voting process. (KJ). |
