early 20th century feminism

Early 20th century feminism was a pivotal movement advocating for women's rights, particularly focused on suffrage, or the right to vote. Activists like Susan B. Anthony and Emmeline Pankhurst campaigned against social and legal inequalities, pushing for reforms in education, labor, and property rights. This era saw women challenging traditional roles and demanding greater autonomy. The movement gained momentum through protests, marches, and outreach, eventually leading to significant achievements, such as the passage of the 19th Amendment in the U.S. in 1920, which granted women the right to vote, representing a significant step towards gender equality.
