Which of the following was the first public movement in which american women took leadership roles?

a) the temperance movement
b) the abortion movement
c) the suffrage movement
d) the property rights movement

According to the options you gave the first public movement in which American women took leadership roles was the suffrage movement. Nevertheless, the abolition movement is prior to this event. As an example, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton took part on the beginnings of the suffrage movement, but they had worked together on the abolition movement against slavery, where they learned and gained most of her skills as movement leaders. On the other hand, the temperance movement came shortly after both events and the abortion movement and the property rights movement that are more recent.

C) the suffrage movement

Explanation:

The founding moment of Suffragism is historically placed in 1848 with the Seneca Falls Sentiments Statement. The international movement for the demand for women's suffrage is encouraged and developed by women suffragettes. It is a social, economic and political reformist movement that promoted the extension of suffrage (the right to vote) to women, initially advocating "equal suffrage" (abolition of the difference in voting capacity by gender) instead of the current one " universal suffrage "(abolition of discrimination due mainly to race), since the latter, at the beginning of the demand for women's suffrage was considered too revolutionary.
