Women had been effectively battling for the privilege to vote since the Seneca Falls meeting in 1848. They at last accomplished their objective with the approval of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920.
Carrie Chapman Catt, Anna Howard Shaw, and Alice Paul were the significant pioneers of the women's suffrage development amid the Progressive Era. African Americans, for example, Ida Wells-Barnett and Mary Church Terrell were dynamic also. All things considered, the movement remained generally isolated in light of the fact that white ladies dreaded distancing the South and many shared the biased frames of mind of the time. Wells-Barnett established the principal African American ladies suffrage association, and both she and Terrell endeavored to pick up help for the change.
