Women's Suffrage Movement Overview

Women faced many restrictions on their basic rights such as not being able to own property or have legal claim to money. They were also expected to focus solely on housework and motherhood. In response, women worked to educate the public about women's rights through tactics like lectures, writing, marches, and civil disobedience. Over many years of activism, more states adopted women's suffrage until the 19th amendment granted all American women the right to vote, which they still hold today.
