Sex Disqualification Act Becomes Law

December 23rd, 1919 105 years ago

The Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 became law in the United Kingdom, allowing women to enter professions from which they had previously been barred due to gender. This major legislative change came after years of advocacy from women's rights activists, and it is considered a significant milestone in the fight for gender equality. The Act enabled women to serve on juries, hold public office, and work in professions like law and medicine, which had been predominantly male-dominated fields.
