Women took so many actions to gain equality and several factors helped them to succeed.
<u>Explanation:</u>
After the Civil War the advocates of women’s rights argued that the fourteenth amendment should include the voting rights of women and African American males. National Woman Suffrage Association was founded in 1869. Gaining voting rights was not the only objective of women.
They wanted economic and political equality and worked actively for it between late 1800s and early 1900s. A large percentage of women started working in business and industrial sectors. They also gained control of their earnings and the right to own property.
Women’s participation in the First World War was notable and this helped in the development a thought among the public that women deserve equal rights. This positively affected the achievement of women’s suffrage.
