Women's suffrage refers to the movement advocating for women's right to vote. This struggle began in the late 19th century and gained momentum through the early 20th century, as women organized rallies, protests, and campaigns to demand equal voting rights. Key figures in this movement included Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who played pivotal roles in raising awareness and mobilizing support. The fight for women's suffrage culminated in significant legislative victories, most notably the passage of the 19th Amendment in the United States in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. This landmark achievement not only transformed the political landscape but also inspired similar movements worldwide, leading to greater gender equality in many nations.
