First of all suffrage means the right to vote. In the time of war, nothing was going too well for most countries, mostly Britain. WWI had a big impact on the suffrage movement (for suffragettes and suffragists alike) because the country needed more people to contribute to the cause and to their country. Many casualties were there and people could not handle it. They needed a helping hand.
This is where the women of suffrage came in.
People argued about the consequences of letting Women contribute to the cause. Some felt they were only fit to be at home with kids domestically. Some thought that since they already vote in local elections, they should be allowed to in the nations elections.
So then, people thought about it, and why not?
After that, women were allowed on war fronts and also allowed to work in munition factories and were called munitionettes.

World War I significantly advanced the suffrage movement, particularly for women, as their contributions to the war effort in various roles highlighted their capabilities and societal value. Many countries, recognizing women's essential roles during the war, began to reconsider their political rights. In the aftermath, several nations, including the United States and the United Kingdom, granted women the right to vote, marking a pivotal shift in the suffrage movement. This momentum continued to influence women's rights and broader social changes in the years following the war.
Both the Prohibition movement and the women's suffrage movement grew during World War 1. The former aimed to make alcohol illegal and the latter aimed to give women the right to vote.
The movement gained new support.
During World War I, many American women actively supported the suffrage movement by taking on roles in war-related efforts, such as working in factories, serving as nurses, and participating in volunteer organizations. Their significant contributions to the war effort highlighted their capability and commitment to the nation, helping to challenge traditional gender roles. This visibility and responsibility helped garner public support for women's suffrage, ultimately contributing to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.

very good World War I was a very good thing for women's suffrage. When all the men went off to war the women at home took over their jobs and running the home. When women held things together at home doing men's jobs they were no longer thought "inferior".
The reason that the suffrage movement stalled because the National American Women's Suffrage Association was forced to dissolve. This forced less knowledge and understanding about equal rights to be shared with others.
World War I significantly advanced the women's suffrage movement as women took on roles traditionally held by men, working in factories, offices, and on the front lines. Their contributions during the war demonstrated their capabilities and importance in society, challenging prevailing gender norms. In many countries, this newfound recognition helped bolster arguments for women's voting rights, leading to suffrage advancements in nations like the United States and the United Kingdom shortly after the war ended. Overall, the war acted as a catalyst, accelerating the push for gender equality and political representation.
