That is exactly what women did in order to achieve the goal of equality and the right to vote. Women “made it happen” by holding conventions like the Woman’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York and the National Woman's Rights Convention held in Worcester, Massachusetts. Additionally, women participated in peaceful demonstrations like the national suffrage parade in Washington, D.C. Events like these eventually lead to the ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920.
