Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Representation of the People Act, established in 1918, granted the right to vote to women over 30 who met specific property requirements. Even though 8.5 million women fit this description, they make up around 2/3 of all women in the UK. By providing women with equal voting rights to males, the 1928 Act expanded rage. It granted the right to vote to all women over 21 regardless of their possession of the property. However, only women over 30 who met the required property requirements could vote before this statute. The correct statement would be In the UK; women were granted the right to vote in 1928.
