Women’s Rights Movement
The Women’s Rights Movement is a social and political campaign aimed at achieving equal rights and opportunities for women. It began in the mid-19th century, with early activists like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton advocating for women's suffrage, or the right to vote. Over the years, the movement has addressed various issues, including workplace equality, reproductive rights, and education access.
The movement has evolved through different waves, each focusing on specific goals. The first wave concentrated on legal inequalities, while the second wave, in the 1960s and 1970s, tackled broader social issues. Today, the movement continues to address challenges such as gender-based violence and discrimination in various forms.
