The Manx Magna Charta.

WOMEN’S UNIQUE POSITION.

At Tynwald on the 6th of June, 1703, was promulgated ‘ the Act of Settlement.’ The benefits which later generations have experienced from it (says Sir Spencer Walpole)’ ‘ may be inferred from the name which has since been regularly but more familiarly applied to it, for it is now known as the Manx Magna Charta. the great charter of the Manx people.’ In this document the interesting fact is disclosed that women had, at this early date, the privilege of voting.‘ The Land of Home Rule,’ 1893.
