The women's suffrage movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries focused on securing voting rights for women in the United States. Activists campaigned tirelessly, advocating for the belief that women should have an equal voice in democracy. Organizations like the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) played crucial roles in mobilizing support and promoting reform efforts. Key figures, including Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, utilized grassroots campaigning, public speaking, and civil disobedience to highlight the injustices faced by women. Their efforts culminated in the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote.
