Catchy Title: "Let Her Vote: The Fight for Women's Rights!"
What was the problem?
Women in the 1800s didn’t have the right to vote. This was unfair because they wanted their voices heard in how the country was run. Many people thought women should stay home and not be involved in politics.
Who was involved in addressing the problem?
Brave women like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton led the charge for women's rights. They organized rallies and made speeches to show why women should vote. Many men and women supported them and joined the movement.
What was done to reform society?
Activists worked for years to change laws and attitudes about women's voting rights. They held conventions and shared their ideas through pamphlets and newspapers. Finally, in 1920, the 19th Amendment was passed, giving women the right to vote.
Does the problem still exist today?
While women can vote now, there are still issues like gender equality that need attention. Some countries still struggle to give women voting rights. So, the fight for women's rights continues in different forms.
One example of something (law, organization, institution, etc.) that exists today because of the reform movement of the 1800s
