Women's Sufferage

Women's suffrage refers to the movement advocating for women's right to vote. Beginning in the late 19th century, it aimed to address the political inequality women faced. Activists organized rallies, lobbied lawmakers, and fought for legislative changes, emphasizing that voting is a fundamental right. In many countries, significant milestones included the passage of laws granting women voting rights, notably in the U.S. with the 19th Amendment in 1920. The suffrage movement was crucial for advancing gender equality and empowering women to participate in political processes, shaping modern democracies around the world.
