The significance of suffrage movements for women’s rights worldwide in the early 20th century was monumental, as they laid the groundwork for achieving women's voting rights and equality. These movements challenged societal norms and pushed for legal reforms, mobilizing women across various countries. Key events, such as the Seneca Falls Convention in the U.S. in 1848, inspired global advocacy for suffrage. The passage of laws securing voting rights in numerous nations catalyzed broader reforms in education, employment, and reproductive rights, fundamentally altering gender relations and empowering women to participate fully in public life.
