Is it true that British women over 30 who met property qualifications gained the vote in 1918 under the Representation of the People Act?
Yes. The National Archives and the Wikipedia article on the Representation of the People Act 1918 both state that the Act enfranchised women over 30 who met a property qualification, and further sources confirm the over-30 age restriction and property gate.
