Womens Movement-Eva Crosson

The women's movement has seen several key phases, starting with the Seneca Falls Convention in 1840 and continuing through the 1920s when women secured the right to vote. The movement gained new momentum during the 1960s and 1970s, famously known as the second wave of feminism, which sought gender equality across various domains.
