Worshipping women is a kind of misogyny because it’s imagined that women are beautiful, fragile things that one can possess. It turns out that women are not things. They are people in precisely the same way that you are a person and in the progressive era, they demanded to be full citizens of the United States. In short, women don’t exist to be your Joie de Vivre. Sam historian for the photos that I will be your between 1890 and 1920 as the “women’s era” because it was in that time that women started to have great economic and political opportunities. Women were also ate hit by legal changes, like getting the right to own property, control their wages and make contracts and wills. By 1900, almost 5 million women work for wages, mainly in domestic service or light manufacturing, like the garment industry. Women in America were always the contributors to the economy as producers and consumers and they always worked together for wages are taking care of children and their homes. American women who are also active as reformers. movements brought women into state and national politics before the dawn of the progressive era. Unfortunately, their greatest achievement, Prohibition was also the greatest national shame. Women’s cricket influence indeed games to membership and leadership in the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. The WCTU was founded in 1847 and by 1890 it had 150,000 members, making it the largest female organisation in the United States. Under the leadership of Frances Willard, the WCTU embraced a broad reform agenda. It included pushing for the right for women to vote. In 1895, Willard boldly declared,” A wider freedom is coming to the women of America. Too long it has been held that women have no right to enter these movements.. politics is the place for women.” The petrol of women in politics did greatly expands during the Progressive era. As in previous decades minute of former Swayam middle and upper-class women but the growing economy and the expansion of what might be called the upper-middle class meant that there were more educational opportunities and this growth of college-educated women leaned in and became the leaders of new movements. There was a shuttle shift in gender roles as more and more women work outside the home. African American women continue to work primarily as domestic servants or in agriculture, and immigrant women most needed low paying factory labour but for native-born white women there were new opportunities especially in office work. By 1920, office workers and telephone operators meet up 25% of the female workforce, while domestic servants were only 15%. Union leader named Abraham remarked that working gives immigrant women a sense of independence: “They acquired the right to personality, something alien to the highly patriarchal family structures of the old country.” Women who needed to work wanted a way to limit the number of pregnancies. Being pregnant and having a baby can make it difficult to hold down a job. The word control advocates like Margaret Sanger and Emma Goldman also argued that women should be able to enjoy sex without having children. Another group of progressive women took up the role of addressing the problems of the poor and spearheaded the Settlement House movement. Settlement houses became the incubators of the new field of social work a field in which women played a huge part. Their increasing involvement in the social movements at the turn of the 20th century led them to electoral politics. There was the first wave of suffrage, exemplified by the women at Seneca falls and this metamorphosed into the National American Women’s Suffrage Association or NAWSA. Most of the leadership of NAWSA was made up of middle to upper-class women, often involved in other progressive causes who, unfortunately, sometimes represented the darker side of the suffrage movement. By the early 20 century and a new generation of college-educated activists had arrived on the scene. Many of these women when more radical can be early suffrage supporters. They organised the national women’s party and under the leadership of Alice Paul, pushed for the vote using aggressive tactics that many of the early generations of women’s rights advocates found unseemly. Most separate organisations believe that what time service would help women on respect and equal rights. But, other activists like many progressives post the war and regarded it as a potential threat to social reform.
