suffrage movements in Scandinavia

Suffrage movements in Scandinavia emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, advocating for women's right to vote. Activists organized protests, wrote petitions, and pressed governments to recognize gender equality in voting laws. Denmark, Norway, and Sweden gradually expanded voting rights, with women gaining suffrage between 1901 and 1919. These movements were influenced by broader social changes, including the push for gender equality and democratic reforms. Their efforts successfully established women’s voting rights, contributing to more inclusive political participation and advancing gender equality in Scandinavian societies.
