Industrialization/Progressive Era 1870-96
These movements came where women
were able to join organizations such as the knights of labors who preached
tolerance and the solidarity of all working men and women, but not the Irish
and Chinese.The progressive era was slightly different during this era there
was one specific women who stood out and her name was Ida M. Tarbell a women,
who was one of the most respected in the business historians of her time. She
did this by publishing a scathing history of the Standard Oil Company and later
joining the muckrakers in purchasing the American magazine.
Then the progressive era women didn't have much of a role during 1898-1903 but during 1912, Wilson's Presidency it caused a split in women's movement. Many progressive-era feminist were pacifist, inclined to oppose the participation both of the American in the war and the women in the war effort. They were led by Quaker activist Alice Paul a voice of the National Women's Party.
This suffrage movement, supported Wilson's war. Leaders echoed Wilson's justification for fighting by arguing that women must take part in the war effort to earn a role in shaping the peace. The fight for democracy was women's best hope for true democracy at home.Wilson endorsed women suffrage as "a Vitally necessary war measure". A women's Bureau did emrge after war in the Department of Labor to Protectwomen in the workplace, Congress affirmed it's support for women in their traditional role as mothers when it passed the Sheppard-Towner Maternity act(1921), providing federally financed instruction in maternal and infant health care.
Then came the world war I were women were admitted to armed forces; some11,000 to the navy and 269 to the Marines. Also war time agencies flooded the country with posters in 1917-18 exhorting women on the home front to '"grow their own" and thus ease the pressure on food supplies.
So thanks to all these women during these eras men finally take women seriously, we are
able to vote, publish our own magizines, joined male organizations and let our
voices be heard and won't let anything stop us thanks to these women.So
hopefully you learned a little more and won't forget it,happy studying.
