Happy Birthday J.S. Mill!

Today, 20^th May, is John Stuart Mill’s birthday. He was born in 1806 and was one of the founders and presidents of the first women’s suffrage society, named the ‘London Society for Women’s Suffrage’. In 1866, he made a speech in Parliament arguing in favour of women being given a voice in who should represent the people by giving women the vote. Here’s the speech he made: http://oll.libertyfund.org/quote/91 .   

So, to celebrate his birthday, it would be great if all women eligible to vote made sure they are registered to do so. Registration in the UK closes at 11:59pm this Monday 22^nd May! It only takes 5 mins and can be done online at https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote .
