A direct effect of gaining the right to vote was that women sought equality in other areas.

Explanation:

The feminist movement began in 1848 with the Seneca Falls Convention, in which women began to claim for legal and social equality before men, with the aim of achieving the right to vote and to shape their interests through their exercise. This struggle, which had different ups and downs, finally achieved its objective in 1920, with the approval of the Nineteenth Amendment that guaranteed this right to women.

From there, and in view of the progress made, the women continued their struggle, demanding greater rights and seeking real equality between men and women. Thus, the feminist struggle moved to the labor field, seeking equal pay and equal employment consideration; and to the social field, seeking to remove women from the role of housewife and dependent on men, to bring her to a place of equality in social roles with him.
