A suffragite is an individual, typically a woman, who advocates for the right to vote, particularly in the context of the women's suffrage movement. This term is often associated with those who campaigned for women's voting rights in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Suffragites played a crucial role in raising awareness and pushing for legal reforms to secure voting rights for women. Their efforts contributed significantly to the eventual success of suffrage movements in various countries.
