Women in the 19-20th century worked really hard on suffrage. They had rallies and protests to raise awareness of the issue. Then after the first world war, women gained the right to vote in 1920.

PROPERTY RIGHTS
Married women used to be seen as property and had no rights whatsoever. Although during the ongoing movement, Married women were finally allowed to own property, then to keep their own income, then to engage in business.
