Question

what is suffrage movement

Answer 1

Movement to grant American women the right to vote, led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, and others. They were instrumental in bringing together men and women for a national convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. The result was a sort of "improved" Declaration of Independence, which included the phrase "all men and women are created equal." Many men thought women weren't smart enough to vote. The campaign for the vote went on for another 70 years before the Nineteenth Amendment finally granted women the vote (in 1919).

Answer 2

Women's suffrage is the right of women to vote in elections; a person who advocates the extension of suffrage, particularly to women, is called a suffragist.
