The document summarizes the key events in the suffragette movement for women's right to vote. It provides a timeline from 1848 when the first women's rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. It then discusses the formation of women's suffrage organizations in the US and UK in the late 1800s/early 1900s. During 1906-1914, the suffragette movement in the UK engaged in acts of vandalism, riots, and arrests. World War I led to differences in how the suffragette movement progressed in the US versus UK, with women in the UK supporting the war effort and those in the US
