Category talk:Women's suffrage in the United Kingdom

[Untitled]
Britain/UK

I think UK as in 1918 the Irish Free State had not been created until the 1920s. Therefore Irish women (as in the island of ireland) could be elected MPs to the House of Commons after the Representation of the People's Bill was passed. Although during this time there was a virtual cival war between Unionists and Nationalists and a female Sinn Fein MP didn't enter the Commons - but Unionists did.

At this time (early 1900s) UK refers to Britain and Ireland untill the Republic of Ireland (southern Ireland) became a state in 1922.

Maybe the category should state that the UK in this context refers to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, rather than Britain or the UK in it's current form?

There was an Irish Women's Franchise League which i think I'll write an article for although it really is a minor thing in the women's suffrage movement.
