The term "suffragettes" originated in Britain in the early 20th century. It was coined to describe women who were actively advocating for women's suffrage, or the right to vote. The word is derived from "suffrage," which means the right to vote, and the diminutive "-ette," which typically denotes female membership in a particular group.
