Suffrage Movement

Suffrage Movement


The Suffrage Movement was a historical struggle for women's right to vote and participate in the political process. It gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with activists like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Emmeline Pankhurst leading the charge. The movement involved protests, lobbying, and civil disobedience, aiming to challenge societal norms and discriminatory laws. It ultimately led to the passage of the 19th Amendment in the United States in 1920, granting women the right to vote. The Suffrage Movement marked a significant milestone in the ongoing fight for gender equality and paved the way for women's increased political involvement worldwide.
