American Woman Suffrage movement

The American Woman Suffrage Movement was a decades-long effort, primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to secure women the right to vote. Activists, including leaders like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, organized protests, lobbied government officials, and formed organizations to push for women's political equality. Their persistent campaigning highlighted gender-based discrimination and societal inequalities. The movement culminated in the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the legal right to vote nationwide, significantly advancing gender equality and shaping American democracy.
