Votes for Women
"Votes for Women" refers to the movement advocating for women's suffrage, the right for women to vote in elections. This movement gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with activists organizing rallies, marches, and campaigns to raise awareness about gender equality in voting rights. Key figures included Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who played significant roles in promoting the cause.
In the United States, the struggle culminated in the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the legal right to vote. This landmark achievement was the result of decades of activism and highlighted the importance of civic participation for all citizens, regardless of gender.
