The main focus of the women's suffrage movement in the early 20th century was to secure the right to vote for women. This movement, gaining international momentum, aimed to demand equal political rights and enfranchisement, challenging the prevailing notions of gender roles and societal norms. Advocates organized campaigns, demonstrations, and lobbying efforts, ultimately leading to landmark legal changes, such as the Nineteenth Amendment in the United States in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. The movement played a crucial role in advancing women's rights beyond suffrage, advocating for equality and social reform.
