    The period between 1890 and 1910 marked the movement of Art Nouveau, the French phrase for (“new art”). The period is most well-known as a rebellion against 19th century academic art in which artists began seeking inspiration from natural forms and structures. It can only be assumed which artist led this movement. Eventually, modernist styles like Art Deco replaced Art Nouveau during the Roaring 20’s, but Art Nouveau is considered an important transition from historical snooze-fests to eye-capturing works made then and today. 1897 marked the formation of the Vienna Secession.

    The fight for equal rights of women is thought to have begun with the publication of Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). As male suffrage extended in many countries, women became increasingly active in the pursuit for their suffrage.

    Throughout history, women have struggled for equality in all parts of the world. European women fought for suffrage for an extremely long period of time before they were granted full voting rights. Each country approved women’s suffrage at different times, but it occurred in most European countries in the early 20th century. The first country to develop universal suffrage was Finland in the year 1906(“Women’s Suffrage in Europe”). One of the last countries to become open about women’s voting rights was Switzerland, who didn’t grant women suffrage until 1971(“Women’s Suffrage in Europe”). One of the main reasons why women desired the right to vote was because they wanted to be able to vote for new laws that would eliminate their social inequalities.
