Women secured the right to vote in the United Kingdom is 1918 after an activist movement overcame popular and political opposition. Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith, the occupant of Number 10 from 1908 to 1916, was an opponent of the movement. Feminist leader Emmaline Pankhurst was ultimately victorious in a February 1918 act which extended the franchise to men over 21 and women over 30.
Pank-a-Squith was a pro-suffrage board game published in 1909 in which players acted as Panks (Pankhurst) to overcome the resistance of Squiths (Asquith).
