The women’s suffrage movement was a long struggle for women’s right to vote. Beginning in the mid-19th century, women organized rallies, marches, and petitions to demand equal voting rights. Leaders like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were key figures in this fight. Despite facing opposition and setbacks, their persistent efforts led to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote and marking a significant step toward gender equality in the United States.
