Abstract
The aim of this article is to give an information about freedom and suffrage especially about
woman freedom and suffrage. Suffrage is something that is given to the people to vote for their
leader of the state. Woman suffrage in United State America have been through a long history,
where a social movement for women's suffrage in elections in the United States was required. At
the begining of the election history in the United States the right to vote was given to the white
men who have abundant wealth. The founders of the state assume that voting right should be
given to those who can lead theirselves, and women were excluded from that criteria. This
movement resulted in the change of the Government of the United States. The nineteenth
amendment to the constitution states that women have the right to vote in elections.
