Adult suffrage refers to the right of all adult citizens to vote in elections, regardless of factors such as gender, race, or socioeconomic status. It emphasizes the principle of universal voting rights for individuals typically aged 18 and older, allowing them to participate in the democratic process. This concept is fundamental to representative democracy, ensuring that the voices of the entire adult population are heard in governance.
They were called "suffragettes" which is a label based on the term, "suffrage" which means "the right to vote."

In what year was Adult suffrage introduced to Guyana
Universal suffrage (also universal adult suffrage, general suffrage or common suffrage) consists of the extension of the right to vote to adult citizens (or subjects) as a whole, though it may also mean extending said right to minors (Demeny voting) and non-citizens. Although suffrage has two necessary components, the right to vote and opportunities to vote, the term universal suffrage is associated only with the right to vote and ignores the other aspect, the frequency that an incumbent government consults the electorate. Where universal suffrage exists, the right to vote is not restricted by race, sex, belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, wealth, or social status. Historically, universal suffrage often in fact refers to universal adult male suffrage.
