A woman's place

This year marks 90 years since women in the UK won the vote and 80 years since they gained electoral parity (a voting age of 21) with men. Comment is free, in association with Women in Journalism, looks at how far women have moved into all aspects of the public sphere, all over the world, in the decades since women’s suffrage.
