The suffragettes were activists (mostly women) who advocated for women's voting rights, and were some of the founders of [First-wave] Feminism, like Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony (in America). The movement officially started in 1848 at the Seneca Falls Convention, and in August 1920 the US nationally declared in the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution, that anyone had the right to vote regardless of gender.
