    The major goal was getting political and economic rights

    Politically, the 19th century women didn't have voting rights. Even after the civil war when race was removed as a suffrage issue, the gender issue still persisted. One of the main things was to fight for voting rights since women constituted half of the population and still couldn't vote. They won their voting rights in the beginning of the 20th century.

    Economically, the main problems were that they wouldn't be able to get paid for any work that they did since it all went to their husbands, and they weren't capable of inheritance. If they were to inherit something, their husbands would actually inherit it and they didn't want this.
