What did the women's suffrage movement effort to achieve?

  1. Equal pay for equal work

  2. The right to vote

  3. The right to work in any profession

  4. Maternity leave rights

The correct answer is: The right to vote

The women's suffrage movement sought to achieve the right to vote for women. Option A, equal pay for equal work, was a separate goal of the women's rights movement. Option C, the right to work in any profession, was also a separate goal as women were historically limited in the types of jobs they were allowed to hold. Option D, maternity leave rights, while an important issue for women, was not the primary focus of the women's suffrage movement. Ultimately, the women's suffrage movement fought for and achieved the right for women to have a voice in government and the political process through voting.
