The first Women's right movement was created by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and its main goal was fighting for equality and giving women the power of voting. This was in the 19th century and these women were called the suffragettes, because they fought for women suffrage.
The colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying, British goods. In 1773 some colonists in Boston, Massachusetts demonstrated their frustration by dressing up like Indians, sneaking onto ships in the harbor, and dumping imported tea into the water. This was called the Boston Tea Party.
