Ep 31: No Republic for Young Women- Why Michael Collins denied women the franchise in 1922
Part 2 of our podcast which examines the voter numbers behind the 1922 general election following the signing of the treaty by Michael Collins.
In part 1, we found out Michael Collins along with Arthur Griffith conspired to deny women the vote because they knew that women, especially young women, were ardent Republicans. The GE result would give Collins the mandate he felt he needed to go to war.
Why were women denied the franchise?
The numbers talk for themselves
