It was probably Victoria Woodhull, back in 1872, long before women got the right to vote. She was a suffragist and had her own party-- the Equal Rights Party. Needless to say, she did not find many men who voted for her, but at least she made her point.
There were many people who fought for suffrage, or the right to vote. One very famous suffragist fought for women's right to vote in the early 1900s. Her name was Susan B. Anthony.
Suffrage means the right to vote, so a suffragist is, in general, a person in favor of giving the right to vote to a certain group or race. The word 'suffrage' was commonly used in the 1800's and early 1900's when referring the right of women to vote. An anti-suffragist was someone against that race or group having the right to vote, since 'anti' means 'against'.
