Women’s Suffrage Movement
In history, there are many events where women fought for their rights and freedom. Women used their freedom of speech to promote their rights. A great example of this would be the Women’s Suffrage Movement.
 
The Women's Suffrage Movement was a decade-long dispute for women in the United States to have the right to vote. Historians called women the “Cult of True Womanhood” meaning that a “responsible” woman should be a sincere, accommodating wife and mother who should only solicit families and their home. Their statement caused many American women to feel resentful which also planted the seeds of resistance in womens’ hearts.
 
A group of abolitionist activists including a minority of men in Seneca Falls, New York was having a discussion about women’s rights. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the founder of the National Woman Suffrage Association established later in 1869, and other activists agreed with a statement that “American women were autonomous individuals who deserved their own political identities.” In the process of women fighting against the United States government for their rights, the women's rights movement lost recognition as the Civil War began during the 1950s.
 
In 1869, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony decided to fight for women’s rights by creating an organization called the National Woman Suffrage Association, however, many disagreed that it was unfair to let black suffrage connect with the inconspicuous women’s suffrage movement. But comments on women went different over time.
 
The new generation stated that women can turn family life into a political virtue, using privilege to create a purer and more moral "maternal commonwealth." A lot of white people and temperance advocates began to vacillate their ideas about women’s rights.
 
Starting in the early twentieth century, many states provided rights to women. States such as Idaho and Utah already allowed women to vote by the end of the nineteen century and many other states began to follow suit soon after. Although World War I slowed the women’s suffrage movement, it helped women work towards advancing their arguments. 
 
Ultimately, the arrival of the 19th Amendment brought success to women on August 18, 1920. Women finally have the right to vote.
 
What Began Women’s History Month?
March is considered Women's History Month due to a myth that was spread in folk circles. On March 8, 1857, a group of female garment workers in New York City went on strike because they had received harassment from police. Later, women from multiple factories banded together to demand better working conditions and voting rights. The group eventually formed its own union.
