What was the movement called that fought for women's right to vote?

Discover Canada records this in one direct sentence. The guide writes: The effort by women to achieve the right to vote is known as the women's suffrage movement. Its founder in Canada was Dr. Emily Stowe, the first Canadian woman to practise medicine in Canada. In 1916, Manitoba became the first province to grant voting rights to women. The movement the test wants is therefore the women's suffrage movement.

Three commitments in one passage. Discover Canada commits the women's suffrage movement to THREE specific facts: a name (women's suffrage movement), a founder in Canada (Dr. Emily Stowe — the first Canadian woman to practise medicine in Canada), and a first-province milestone (Manitoba in 1916). So the movement is named, identified by its founder, and dated by its first provincial victory.

Federal voting followed quickly. Discover Canada writes: "In 1917, thanks to the leadership of women such as Dr. Stowe and other suffragettes, the federal government of Sir Robert Borden gave women the right to vote in federal elections — first to nurses at the battle front, then to women who were related to men in active wartime service. In 1918, most Canadian female citizens aged 21 and over were granted the right to vote in federal elections." So federal voting came in stages: 1917 partial (battle-nurses and military-relatives), then 1918 most Canadian women aged 21 and over. The progression took just two years to move from no female federal vote to a broad female federal vote.

Quebec came later. Discover Canada writes: "In 1921 Agnes Macphail, a farmer and teacher, became the first woman MP. Due to the work of Thérèse Casgrain and others, Quebec granted women the vote in 1940." So while most of Canada granted women the vote in the 1916–1918 period, Quebec did not extend voting rights to women until 1940 — meaning the women's suffrage movement's victory took different lengths of time across the country. The first Canadian woman to win federal election was Agnes Macphail (1921). So when the test asks the name of the movement that fought for women's right to vote, the source-precise answer is the women's suffrage movement.

The question is testing whether new citizens know the name of the movement that fought for women's right to vote. Discover Canada commits to one name: the women's suffrage movement. The right test answer matches that.

The wrong answer choices each substitute a different name. The first option names a different historical movement that focused on broader equality, not specifically the right to vote. The third option is not what the source names. The fourth option is a piece of legislation framing, not the movement's name. Only the women's suffrage movement matches.
