The Diary in December
Votes for Women!
The flu epidemic continues to devastate the world.
December 1st – 10th
The flu epidemic rages. No interest shown in the coming election, but Wynne exercised by articles about Germany and the returning troops.
December 11th – 16th
Election Day on 14th. Women Vote for the first time! “I, a mere woman, went to record my vote”.
December 17th – 23rd
The children are home for Christmas. Preparations begin in earnest, and the charity Hospital party goes off well.
December 24th – 31st
A peaceful Christmas at last, and teh first dance in four years. The election returns a Coalition, but the MP Wynne voted for gets in. Postage costs complained about.
