** "The Future of the Women’s Movement" by H. M. Swanwick is a thought-provoking examination of the women's movement in the early 1900s that investigates the struggle for equality and its profound social effects. The narrative showcases how the movement evolved beyond just suffrage, pushing for acknowledgment of women's diverse talents and their inclusion in all aspects of society. Swanwick challenges the era's restrictive gender roles and prejudices, calling for a more complete understanding of women's capabilities. The book highlights the quest for comprehensive rights and the need to overcome historical exclusions, positioning the pursuit of suffrage as an essential, yet single component, of a much broader movement toward empowerment. **
