From the Paper:

"When most people hear the term women's suffrage they automatically think of feminism. There is a mistaken belief that the terms feminism and suffrage are interchangeable. However there are major differences between the terms. Feminism is the term used for a broad category of women's movements. When discussing the similarities within the currents of feminism, Nancy Adamson et al note, "All recognize that women are oppressed and exploited by virtue of being women; and all feminist organize to make change" (Adamson et al. 9)."
