Question

What was women’s suffrage?

Answer 1

Women's suffrage was a movement that struggled for the right of women to cast their vote and to run for office. It was a long fight that took almost a hundred years to succeed in the USA. The first campaigns for women's suffrage began before the Civil War with the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. It was not until 1920 with the 19th Amendment that women across the USA could cast their vote for the first time.

Answer 2

Women's suffrage simply refers to a women's right to vote in all elections. In the United States, women did not gain the right to vote until 1920, after a long and trying women's suffrage movement.
