The fight for women's suffrage in the U.S. began with early activists who were also anti-slavery advocates. The first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls in 1848, led by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, introduced the controversial idea of women's voting rights. Over time, strategies evolved from state campaigns to federal amendments. Key events included the 1913 suffragist parade and protests in front of the White House. President Wilson's stance shifted during WWI, leading to the passage of the Susan B. Anthony Amendment in 1919. Despite opposition, the amendment was ratified in 1920, allowing millions of women to vote.
