London: men-only Garrick club opens doors for women post 193 years

Members of a 193-year-old private club voted to accept women to join the institution. Founded in 1831, the gentlemen's club went through years of pressure to admit female members. On May 7, nearly 60% of members voted in favour of female membership in a historic move. Senior judges concluded there was nothing in Garrick's constitution preventing women from being accepted.
