the property rights movement

Answer 1

the abolition movement

Step-by-step explanation:

The abolition movement was the first public movement in which American women took leadership roles. Women also participated in various other social movements that came afterwards. The abolition movement wanted to abolish slavery, and although it had been present at various points in history all over the world, it was particularly important in the United States, where slavery was a particularly contentious issue. Some of the women that were significant in this movement were Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman.
