The suffragettes were a group of women in the later part of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century who were lobbying for women to be allowed to vote. They were not the only group of women who were trying to do this, but the term suffragette is mainly used to denote a group of women who were more militant in there methods of protest and lobbying. They were active in the United Kingdom mostly, but also in Australia and New Zealand. There famous slogan was "Votes for Women!"
In the United States women who were lobbying for the right to vote used the term suffragist. Both terms come from the word suffrage which is the right to vote.
New Zealand was the first country in modern times to give women the right to vote; this happened in 1893. However, various countries and republics had allowed women to vote at various points in history which later was taken away.
Suffragettes alone weren't allowed to vote, all women could not vote. Suffragettes were only women who were protesting the lack of the right to vote.
