ABSTRACT
The Progressive Era, as much as any other time in American history, was a period whose fundamental character was defined by women as well as men. During these years (roughly 1890 to 1917), people operating from many different perspectives and through many different organizations struggled to improve American society. Women led some of these movements and participated in virtually all of them. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203949610/869015b0-77e4-47fa-bc94-91dbdd774f8f/content/fig81_C.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
