During the era of Reconstruction, women fought unsuccessfully for

During the era of Reconstruction, women fought unsuccessfully for the inclusion of women's suffrage (the right to vote) in the constitutional amendments and legislation addressing civil rights. While the Reconstruction amendments—the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments—focused on abolishing slavery, granting citizenship rights, and protecting voting rights for African American men, they did not explicitly address the issue of women's suffrage.

Women's rights activists, including prominent figures like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, advocated for equal voting rights for women. However, their efforts during the Reconstruction era did not result in the immediate success of women gaining the right to vote. It wasn't until several decades later, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, that women secured the right to vote in the United States.
