First page of the report states: John Stuart Mill MP presented the first mass women's suffrage petition to the House of Commons on 7 June 1866. - The petition was brought to Parliament by Emily Davies and Elizabeth Garrett. The story was later told that to avoid attention on arrival in Westminster Hall, they concealed it under the stall of an apple seller, which is where Mill found it. - Mill spoke on the petition on 17 July 1866. A year later, the petition led to the first debate on votes for women. - It was not until 1928: Women in England, Wales and Scotland received the vote on the same terms as men (over the age of 21) as a result of the Representation of the People Act 1928. And finally. The second page of the report has frequently asked questions about the suffrage petition of 1866 and answers provided by numerous specialists with links to other well informed sites. The next 34 sheets are all the names of the signatories who signed the original petition in 1866 in alphabetical order. It's a fascinating document.
