Suffragist Movement

The Suffragist Movement was a social and political campaign, primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, advocating for women's right to vote. Activists, known as suffragists, used organized efforts such as protests, petitions, and lobbying to push for electoral rights. Their goal was to achieve gender equality in voting and participation in democracy. The movement played a crucial role in securing the expansion of voting rights for women in many countries, notably in the United States with the 19th Amendment in 1920. It marked a significant step toward gender equality and women's empowerment.
