Answer: The fight for equality between women and men
Explanation: The suffragist movement was the call for women to vote in the United States. It is important because back in that time a woman's role was to simply be a housewife or maid, always in the shadow of their male subordinates. At that time the only persons allowed to vote were white men who owned land(with very few exclusions) or rich white men. Black/African Americans (male and female), poor persons, and females(white and black) were looked down upon and/or not even allowed to vote. This movement would change history itself, as this 100-year fight was hard to come by. By winning, women would be able to let their voices be heard and leave an impact on society.
