In the United States, as far back as President John Adams' wife Abigail, who asked her husband to "remember the ladies," there were individual women who wanted a say in the decisions that affected their life. In the early to mid 1800s, journalist Margaret Fuller (who died in 1850) and abolitionist and early feminist Lucy Stone became known for speaking on behalf of equal rights for women (Stone was the first woman to keep her name when she married).
But perhaps the first organized event was a women's rights convention that took place at Seneca Falls (New York) in 1848. Attended by the era's leading proponents of equality and voting rights for women, it marked the launch of an ongoing campaign to change public opinion and win the vote. It should be noted that while women did not gain suffrage (an old word that meant "permission") nationally till 1920, certain states began giving women voting rights before that-- among the first was Colorado, in 1893, and Montana was the first state to sent a woman to congress, Jeannette Rankin, in 1916.
