20th Century Women's Rights Movement
The 20th Century Women's Rights Movement aimed to secure equal rights and opportunities for women, addressing issues like voting, education, and workplace equality. Key milestones included women gaining the right to vote in many countries, such as the U.S. in 1920, and the push for equal pay and reproductive rights in the 1960s and 70s. Activists challenged societal norms, resulting in significant legal and cultural changes. This movement laid the groundwork for ongoing discussions about gender equality, emphasizing that women's rights are fundamental human rights.
