By 1900, women were allowed to own and keep property after marriage through the Married Women’s Property Act that was written by Richard Pankhurst in 1870, although it was heavily altered after it went through Parliament. Despite this, it was was a major

Women's Suffrage The Women's Suffrage movement involved political, economic, and social equality; the fight for rights sparked in the 1920’s with the bravery, courage, and power of women. In the 1900’s, women profoundly felt segregated against by men and most of the society. Men generally held biased and stereotypical perspective of women, which made many women dissatisfied with their living conditions and made them feel their lives were unfulfilled and. Discrimination provoked women to take action

They were not allowed to have any interest in anything but home and family; nor were they encouraged to pursue a career

For a very long time women fought for what they believed in, they had conventions and rallies about how they are going to win this fight for their right. These women were not afraid of what might stop them from achieving their right to vote, but one day they finally won the fight.
