The suffragist movement, characterized by the push for women's suffrage in the early 20th century, sought to extend voting rights to women in various countries. This movement garnered significant momentum as women organized rallies, marches, and campaigns. The National American Woman Suffrage Association, established in 1890, played a pivotal role in advocating for women's voting rights in the United States. Activists faced opposition and societal challenges, but their determination and sustained efforts eventually led to landmark achievements, including the ratification of the 19th Amendment in the U.S. in 1920, which granted women the right to vote.
