The Austrian Women's Movement refers to the collective efforts of women in Austria to achieve social, political, and economic equality. It gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on issues such as women's suffrage, education, and labor rights. Key organizations, like the Austrian Women's Association, played a significant role in advocating for women's rights and raising awareness about gender inequality. Throughout the 20th century, the movement evolved, addressing various challenges faced by women, including discrimination and violence. The movement has contributed to significant legal reforms, such as the introduction of women's suffrage in 1918, which allowed women to vote and stand for election, marking a pivotal moment in Austrian history.
