Pennant, "Votes for Women," circa 1915
Add to SetSummary
In the early 20th century, women and men alike joined the already decades-long fight for women's suffrage, or equal voting rights. Suffragists staged parades and organized public demonstrations calling for the right to vote. Their efforts made national headlines and rallied support for the cause, contributing to the adoption of a constitutional amendment that finally granted women suffrage in 1920.
