Women's Movement/First WaveThe women’s movement was a campaign for the enfranchisement of women. Because suffrage activists in both the United States and Britain did not have the support of any of the main political parties, they experimented with a range of new tactics for attracting attention and support to their cause, which gave their campaign a distinctly modern feel. An organized women’s movement developed first in the United States and then in Britain in the mid-nineteenth century.
