Women's suffrage (also known as woman suffrage) is the right of women to vote and to stand for electoral office. National and international organizations formed to coordinate efforts to gain voting rights, especially the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, and also worked for equal civil rights for women.

Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett, GBE was an English feminist, intellectual, political leader, union leader, mother, wife and writer. However, she is primarily known for her work as a suffragist. Fawcett became president of the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies in 1897. Finally, in 1918, the Representation of the People Act, which enfranchised about 6,000,000 women, was passed. (Ten years afterward, British women received the vote on a basis of full equality with men.)

In "Women's suffrage: A Short History of a Great Movement", Fawcett describes in her own words the history of the women's suffrage movement, and her involvement in it.
