2. Suffrage movement

The suffrage movement was a campaign in the late 19th and early 20th centuries advocating for women's right to vote. Activists argued that women deserved equal political rights to men, as they were equally capable of contributing to society. Key figures, such as Susan B. Anthony and Emmeline Pankhurst, organized protests, rallies, and lobbying efforts. The movement faced significant opposition but ultimately led to important milestones, including the 19th Amendment in the United States in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. This movement was a crucial part of the broader struggle for women's rights and equality.
