The main goal of the suffrage movement in the early 20th century was to secure voting rights for women. Activists campaigned vigorously, advocating for legal reforms that would grant women the same electoral privileges as men. Key figures, including Susan B. Anthony and Emmeline Pankhurst, used various methods such as protests, speeches, and civil disobedience to raise public awareness and support for their cause. The movement achieved significant milestones in several countries, with notable victories including the passage of the 19th Amendment in the United States in 1920, which granted women the right to vote.
