Women's Suffrage Movement

The Women's Suffrage Movement has been around for quite a while (since 1848 to the passing of the 19th amendment). The whole point of this nearly world wide movement was to gain an equality for men and women. Women had begun to receive a larger education, and they begun to take part in different kinds of movements. This, coincidentally, involved women in politics, which led to women asking why they were not allowed to vote. Suffrage, the right to vote, quickly became the main goal for women to reach. Of course, there were many men who opposed this movement because they believed that women were less intelligent and less capable to make important decisions. Many of these men feared that if women were to start to vote, that it would lead to the corruption of family life.

The Women's Suffrage Movement was a very significant turning point in the 1900's. By 1990, women had the right to vote in almost every country where men had the right. With the passing of this movement, women were given more respect by men and they were not treated as just a house-wife. They were now important people, equal to men, perhaps not in all aspects, but they were getting pretty close.

I think that the Women's Suffrage Movement was a very important and life altering thing that happened. This movement was just one of many that lead to the equality of men and women. Without this movement, women today may still have been treated exactly the same as they were back then. Women would still just be the wives who took care of the house and the kids and the husband. They would still be stuck in the house all day.
