The Aborigines Protection Society founded in 1837 "campaigned to ensure the findings of the report were widely known and implemented in the policies of the day. What came to be known as the 'Aborigines report' documented wide spread frontier violence and had a major impact on the debates about how Aboriginal peoples were to be treated in British colonies. Its focus was on reducing frontier violence through the application of the rule of law and other approaches such as spreading Christianity and prosecuting renegade European whalers sailors and escaped convicts."

16570Representation of the People Act 1918. 8 Geo. 5. Ch. 64 Printed by Percy Lunch Humphries & Co. Ltd. for Normal Gibb Scorgie C.V.O. C.B.E. Controller of His Majesty's Stationery Office and King's Printer of Acts of Parliament. First edition. 161 pages. Original paper wrappers. 9 1/2 x 6 in. The Representation of the People Act of 1918 granted the vote to women over the age of 30 who met a property qualification. The same Act gave the vote to all men over the age of 21. As a result of this act 8.5 million women joined the electorate and made up almost 40% of all voters in the United Kingdom. This was a great victory for the women's suffrage movement which had been calling for voting rights since the 1830s. Militant suffrage groups in the UK were even known for campaigns of destruction and mayhem in order to keep their issue in the forefront of everyone's minds. unknown books
