Ninety years after the first British women cast their votes in a general election, and a mere 29 years since the election of a female Prime Minister, the fairer sex have claimed perhaps their most momentous victory.
The Carlton Club, since 1832 the hallowed sanctuary of fine Conservative gentlemen, has voted to admit women as full members. Until now, only the Iron Lady herself has been granted full membership of the Georgian club in St James’s, Central London, which has been called the “spiritual home” of the Conservative Party.
