In America in the 1820's women suffrage begained with the writing of Fanny Wright.Her book Course of Popular Lectures (1829).She wrote this book because she wanted rights for women.Culminating in 120 with the passage of the 19th amendment.This provided "The right of citizens of the United States that vote shall not be denied by the U.S or by state on account of sex.The Seneca falls Convention of 1848 formulate the demand for women suffrage in the usa after the American Civil War.Among the issues considered during the conference were property rights for married women, equal standing for women in the legal system, and improved access to quality education. It was at this conference that Elizabeth Cady Stanton read her famous "Declaration of Sentiments," which enumerated the injustices faced by women under current legal and social conventions and called for a number of reforms.

Some woman-suffrage advocates, among them Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, believed that this was their chance to push lawmakers for truly universal suffrage.As a result, they refused to support the 15th Amendment and even allied with racist Southerners who argued that white women's votes could be used to neutralize those cast by African Americans. In 1869, this faction formed a group called the National Woman Suffrage Association and began to fight for a universal suffrage amendment to the federal Constitution.Women suffrage is the right of women to vote and to run for office. The expression is also used for the economic and political reform movement aimed at extending these rights to women and without any restrictions or qualifications such as property ownership, payment of tax, or marital status.

Lucy Stone met with Paulina Kellogg Wright Davis, Abby Kelley Foster, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips and six other women to organize the larger National Women's Rights Convention in 1850. This national convention brought together for the first time many of those who had been working individually for women's rights.While conventions provided places where women could support each other, they also highlighted some of the challenges of unifying strongly opinionated leaders into one movement. Women's rights activists faced difficult questions.Some future leaders got their start at these meetings.Women's suffrage has generally been recognized after political campaigns to obtain it were waged. In many countries it was granted before universal suffrage. Women’s suffrage is explicitly stated as a right under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, adopted by the United Nations in 1979.There were alot of strong women out there and they fighted for what they believed in.
