6. Hydrology & Hydrography

In the context of the history of women's suffrage, "hydrology" and "hydrography" metaphorically represent the flow and distribution of social movements and ideas. Just as hydrology studies the movement of water in the environment, analyzing how women's suffrage evolved reveals the channels through which activism spread. Hydrography, focusing on water bodies, can symbolize how different regions responded to suffrage efforts. Both terms illustrate how the struggles for women's voting rights surged and ebbed, influenced by social, political, and geographical factors, shaping the progress of equality in various contexts over time.
