description: The process of securing the right to vote for women was an important phase in feminism. Suffrage was first proposed as a part of a general declaration of the rights of women signed at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Chapters in this anthology discuss the roots of the movement, its tactics and disagreements, opposition to the suffragists, and the impact of the Nineteenth Amendment on American society.
