<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.5pt">The Agency
of Korean Women, 29 September 2018—BAKS Workshop, Wolfson
College, Oxford</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">The British
Association for Korean Studies (BAKS) will hold a one-day
Workshop to be held at Wolfson College, Oxford, on 29
September 2018. <br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">The BAKS
Council wishes to celebrate the centenary of the expansion of
suffrage to British women in 1918 by taking up the workshop
theme of ‘The Agency of Korean Women’. The enfranchised UK
electorate expanded from 7.7 million in 1912 to 21.4 million
in 1918. Men benefited as well from the Representation of the
People Act, because it extended suffrage to all men of 21 and
older, while enfranchising women of 30 and older who owned
property. Clearly, the advancement of women’s rights had the
advantage of carrying men along in its wake. In 1928 all women
21 and older, with or without property, were enfranchised. As
the suffragette movement and more recent feminist movements
have shown, the enlargement of political, economic, and legal
rights to females has not been a gift to women but has been
fought for and won as a major expansion of the freedoms that
underlie liberal democracies.</span></p>
