WOMEN SUFFRAGE
"Woman suffrage" - right to vote
Before this new movement, advocates of women's rights, thought only educated women should vote, but progressive reformers wanted ALL women to have the right to vote. The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote in National Elections. It took activists about100 years to win that right. The fight was rough for the women because they took so much time out of their lives to fight for future generations and their rights. The women were often times treated badly and shunned publicly. I think they fought more than just the right to vote , but for the right to be treated nicely because we are not useless.
