19th-century feminism

19th Century Feminism emerged as a movement advocating for women's rights and equality, particularly in the context of social, political, and legal issues. It sought to challenge and change laws that denied women basic rights, such as voting and property ownership. Key events like the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 marked the start of organized efforts for women's suffrage and education. Pioneers like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton worked tirelessly to promote women's rights, laying the groundwork for future advancements in gender equality that would continue into the 20th century and beyond.
