Explain the following statement: “leaders of the movement believed that if women had the vote, they could use it to gain other rights.”

in my own understanding

I think that the leaders believe that women would have additional rights if they had the vote (to he honest I don't know what vote is that). since the early ages women were not given equal and unjust rights, if they had the vote, leaders believed that women would gain more additional rights

when world war i broke out across europe in 1914, president woodrow wilson proclaimed the united states would remain neutral, and many americans supported this policy of nonintervention. however, public opinion about neutrality started to change after the sinking of the british ocean liner lusitania by a german u-boat in 1915; almost 2,000 people perished, including 128 americans. along with news of the zimmerman telegram threatening an alliance between germany and mexico, wilson asked congress for a declaration of war against germany. the u.s. officially entered the conflict on april 6, 1917.
