The central goal of the suffrage movement in the 20th century was to secure the right to vote for women. This grassroots campaign emerged in response to systemic gender discrimination and the broader struggle for women's rights and equality across social, economic, and political spheres. Activists organized protests, rallies, and campaigns to raise awareness of women's disenfranchisement and pressure lawmakers for electoral reform. The movement achieved notable successes, particularly with the passage of the 19th Amendment in the United States in 1920, which granted women the constitutional right to vote, symbolizing a significant step towards gender equality and inspiring similar movements worldwide.
