Daily Mail marks suffrage centenary with scantily-clad pictures of women it doesn’t like

Events are being held across the country today to mark 100 years since millions of women were given the right to vote for the first time.

The Representation of the People Act gave women over 30 and “of property” the right to vote, along with men over 21.

Here’s how the Daily Mail reacted to this important milestone.

Using 100 years since women got the vote as an excuse to print pictures of scantily clad women while also being judgemental of these women. Peak Daily Mail. pic.twitter.com/0gphdZumQR

Of course they did. The more interesting question might be what they’d make of the Daily Mail.
