Ah the article won't link, just the poster. Here's the body of it, cut and pasted old skool stylee.

It wasn't until 1928 that women were granted the same voting rights as men. Before that, both men and women campaigned against women having the vote.
I was curious to know what arguments were used to undermine women participating in politics. Here are my top five, taken from a leaflet published between 1910 and 1914 called "Fifteen Good Reasons Against The Grant Of Female Suffrage":
Other countries would think less of Britain if women were granted the right to vote.
If women were permitted to vote, they might want to do other things they weren't allowed to do, like be an MP or a judge.
Women didn't have the "temperament or balance of mind" to make political decisions, and should stick to their "proper sphere".
Most women didn't even want the vote. Most men didn't want women to have the vote. Even if women had the vote they probably wouldn't use it apart from in "emotional excitement".
No-one knew what would happen if you let women vote, and it was far too risky an "experiment".
Fast-forward to 2015 and, despite having the vote, women are massively under-represented in politics.
The Parliament just dissolved was made up of 502 men and 148 women – that's more men than the total number of female MPs in history.
The Hertford and Stortford constituency is yet to have its first female MP, like 319 other constituencies in the UK.
Does equal representation matter? Reason No 12 in the leaflet claimed that women don't need to be involved in politics because men can represent them just as well as they could represent themselves. I am inclined to disagree.
Last year, UN special rapporteur Rashida Manjoo said that the UK has a "boys' club sexist culture". She said that the UK had more obvious sexism than many of the other countries she had visited. I'm not convinced that women should rely on others to act on their behalf.
Women, as we know, are a diverse group, and having more women in Parliament would mean fairer representation of that diversity.
Some issues, generally speaking, impact women more directly than men; equal pay, maternity services, costs of childcare and access to flexible working, for example. Women are more likely to have a deeper understanding of these issues and more motivation to make them their political priority.
Since becoming a mum, I have had more experiences with public services than ever before. Yet only 12% of MPs are mums who share that experience.
If we carry on as we are, it will take more than 100 years to reach equal representation in Parliament.
The #50:50ParliamentPetition is calling for a debate on how to speed up gender parity in Westminster. If you would like to see an equal balance of men and women in politics sooner rather than later, you can sign the petition online at www.5050parliament.co.uk.
If you haven't registered to vote yet, you have until April 20 to do so. All you need is your National Insurance number and this website: www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. If you are unsure about which party's policies best represent you, you can visit www.voteforpolicies.org.uk.
In the last election, the successful candidate in Hertford and Stortford won with 29,810 votes from a potential 79,255 voters. More than 23,000 people in the constituency didn't vote at all. Your vote matters.
