From the Paper:

"Introduction

This study examined the pursuit of women s suffrage in Great Britain. The thesis of his study was that the thrust of the women s suffrage movement in Great Britain was much more than a quest for voting rights: It was an international model for a pursuit of social justice.
The pursuit of social justice by women in Great Britain involved all aspects of society - labor, family life, political participation, education, property rights, and full social equality. The quest for women s suffrage, thus, was a part of the wider pursuit for social justice; it was a step in the march of progress for women. Within this broader context, the women s suffrage movement in Great Britain was an early manifestation of the feminist movement (Garner, 1984)."
