Suffrage and Citizenship in Ireland, 1912-18: The Kehoe Lecture in Irish History 2018

Professor Senia Pašeta argues that our understanding of
modern Irish and British politics would be enormously enriched if we recognized
two things: that the Irish and British suffrage movements were deeply
connected; and that the women's suffrage movement across the United Kingdom was
shaped in fundamental ways by the Irish Question from the late nineteenth
century and into the twentieth. In other words, the women's suffrage movement
did not exist in a political vacuum. It interacted with, influenced and was
influenced by the other main political questions of the day, and with the main political question of the
day - Ireland.
