The suffrage movement, particularly in the early 20th century, aimed to secure women's voting rights. Prominent figures such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and later, Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt, campaigned for equality and the legal right for women to vote. This movement gained momentum through protests, rallies, and the formation of organizations like the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). Their relentless efforts culminated in significant milestones, such as the passage of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920, which granted women the right to vote, thus marking a crucial victory in the fight for women's rights and social equality.
