Kale Reed, In earlier times, equality between men and women had a dramatic difference. It is often believed that women's suffrage was desired and fought for only in England and the United States during the 19th century. Although these movements have changed in their motives and tactics, the battle for women's suffrage, along with other women's rights concerns, has crossed many national boundaries. Women's rights and suffrage changed dramatically from 1890 until 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 talked about topics are women's rights, their suffrage and the role they played. In the 19th century, women began to take action to change their rights and lifestyles. In most states, women were unable to control their own wages, legally manage their own property, or sign legal documents such as wills.

Many professions , including those of doctor and lawyer, remained closed to women, and by 1900 men still accounted for more than 95 percent of all doctors. their value in life due to stereotypes based on their past occupations. During the suffrage movement, women faced many challenges that ultimately led their suffrage leaders in today's world to adopt new arguments to gain support, emphasizing the special moral and material instincts that women could bring to bear , rather than insisting exclusively on the justice of women's suffrage or equal rights. Thanks to these women who pushed boundaries and made great strides, they are now a significant part of the American government and how our country operates..
