Votes for Women

Votes for Women refers to the movement advocating for women's suffrage, the right of women to vote in elections. This struggle gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom. Activists, often facing significant opposition, organized marches, protests, and campaigns to demand equal voting rights. Significant milestones included the passage of the 19th Amendment in the U.S. in 1920, granting women the right to vote, and similar reforms in other nations, marking a crucial step toward gender equality in political representation and civic participation.
