Feminist Movements in 19th Century

The 19th-century feminist movements aimed to challenge and change the societal norms that limited women's rights and roles. Activists advocated for issues such as women's suffrage (the right to vote), access to education, and legal equality. Key figures like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the U.S. organized campaigns and conventions, like the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848, which marked the formal beginning of the women's rights movement. These efforts laid the groundwork for future advances in women's rights and equality, highlighting the necessity of women's voices in political and social spheres.
