Mr. Holmes is big on logic and reason but he's not entirely consistent in that regard ^_^

It's bizarre thinking about it now that a woman like Mrs. Hudson, supporting herself and owning her own property, wouldn't have had a vote because she was female. But did you know that when the Suffragists and Suffragettes were campaigning for votes for women in Britain, 40% of British men also didn't qualify to vote? Because they weren't wealthy enough. It just seems unbelievable now.
