Kale Reed, In the past, equality between men and women presented a dramatic difference. It is often believed that women's right to vote was only sought and achieved in England and the United States during the 19th century. Although these movements changed in motivation and tactics, the battle for women's suffrage, as well as other women's rights concerns, crossed many national boundaries. Women's rights and suffrage changed dramatically between the 1890s and the time of the Nixon administration. During this time, women were treated poorly and felt as if they were not equal to other citizens of the world, especially men. There are countless activities involving women, but the most discussed topics are women's rights, their right to vote and the roles they played. In the 19th century, women began to take action to change their rights and their way of life. In most states, women were unable to control their wages, legally operate their property, or sign legal documents such as wills. Although demoted to their own private domain and completely powerless, some women took advantage and became involved in elements of reform such as temperance and abolition. Therefore, this ultimately paved the way for women to come together in an organized movement to fight for their rights such as equality in education, work, legal reform and occupation. As stated in the Nineteenth Amendment, a constitutional amendment that established women's right to vote. In the 20th century, the leadership of the suffrage movement was divided between two organizations. The first was the National American Woman Suffrage Association.

Many professions, including those of doctors and lawyers, remained closed to women, and men still made up more than 95% of all doctors in the 1900s. "Women always believed that They were more than just housewives. Single working women also began to doubt their worth in life due to stereotypes based on their past occupations. Throughout the suffrage movement, women faced. to many challenges that ultimately led to their leading roles in today's world that women could bring, rather than only insisting on the justice of women's suffrage or equality of women. rights. Thanks to these women who pushed the boundaries and made giant leaps, they are now an important part of the American government and the running of our country..
