votes for women
Suffragette movement's demand
Votes for women was the rallying cry of the suffragette movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, demanding women's right to vote in political elections.
The phrase appeared on banners, buttons, and in speeches as activists campaigned for electoral equality: The marchers carried signs reading "Votes for Women".
It remains historically associated with figures like Emmeline Pankhurst in Britain and Susan B.
Anthony in the United States.
