they felt their rights to earn money were being attacked.
they felt men had done a poor job of running things so far.
they felt afraid of the sitting congress's attitude toward women.

  They felt they had a civic duty to improve society.

Explanation:

  The women´s suffrage campaign began soon after the end of the Civil War. When the majority of the states allowed only white men to vote. The movement argues the idea of "true womanhood", the idea that the woman had to be pious, submissive and only concerned about home and family.

  Then in a convention held in Seneca Falls, New York, the delegates there agreed that women were autonomous individuals who deserved their own political identity.

  Finally after almost one hundred years of struggle, in 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified declaring that women deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
