Answer 1

The correct option is A International Suffrage Movement

The International Suffrage Movement or the Women's Suffrage Movement had begun in the USA, even before the Civil War. It was a decade long struggle for securing the women's right to vote. Few countries such as Germany, Austria, Poland, USA, etc ., gave men and women equal rights to vote after the World War I. Countries such as France, Italy, China, Romania, etc., did so immediately after the World War II.
