Before 1918‚ women were considered to be very much within their own sphere of influence separate from men. Throughout the 19th century women had slowly been gaining voting privileges‚ but only in areas considered to be within their spheres such as the vote for school boards‚ the vote for poor law boards and the vote for county councils.

"You will be home before the leaves have fallen from their trees." As in most war‚ the first casualty was the truth.
