	Don't forget that from 1894 women who owned property were enfranchised for local government elections. This was not so uncommon as you may think. After ww1 a lot of women found themselves widows, owners of property through running a small business e.g. shop, farrier, lodging house, pub. Many of them never formally remarried. Not difficult to see why.
