Whenever women wanted to earn an education, and not be only wives and mothers anymore. Then, women wanted all rights and the ability to vote.

The women's suffrage movement in the US started when women no longer were content to not have voting rights in elections. It was an approximately 100 year struggle to achieve these rights and finally in 1920 the 19th amendment of the US constitution gave the franchise to all American women so they were eventually victorious.
