Explanation:

• Women were tireless in their efforts to ensure that they had a right to vote, therefore a say in the future of their country.

• The movement started in 1647 when Mistress Margaret Brent, heir of Lord Calvert demanded her place in the legislature of the colony as a property holder.

• In 1848, highly organized work for woman's suffrage started in the U.S with the women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New york. The suffrage movement fought for 70 years since the convention and won in the end.

• Two suffrage associations with the same motive but different women leaders merged to form one association called the National Woman Suffrage Association.

• The 19th amendment was drafted by Miss Anthony, the leader of the association in 1875, and was first introduced by congress in 1878 by senator A. A. Sargent of the state of California.

• Progress of the amendment was slow during the first 33 years since its introduction, Militants were some of the people who adopted forceful tactics in the latter days of the campaign, which was initiated and led by Miss Anthony who tested the suffrage by going to the polls and voting.

• Militancy gained its momentum by forming a national woman's party in 1913 and marching from the capitol to the white house with approx 8000 women marching altogether, they were attacked by the aggressive crowd.

• Later there were demonstrations, women serving the jail terms, in between ratification of the states begin on the other hand.

• Since the early days, the movement faced opposition from both men and women but it overcame all the hurdles and now full suffrage is enjoyed by the women of 21 foreign countries and in other new states too.
