suffragette movements

Suffragette movements were early 20th-century efforts advocating for women's right to vote. Activists, known as suffragettes, campaigned through protests, rallies, and civil disobedience to challenge societal and political barriers preventing women's suffrage. Their activism aimed to demonstrate women's capabilities and push governments to grant equal voting rights. The movement played a crucial role in achieving women's enfranchisement in various countries, notably the UK and the US. While some suffragettes used militant tactics, the broader goal was to secure legal recognition and equality in democratic participation.
