Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- During the Progressive Era, women faced many problems with their rights, such as not being able to vote, poor working conditions/wages, and social inequality.
- Reformers like Susan B. Anthony, Jane Addams, Carrie Chapman, Alice Paul, and many other brave women led the Women's Suffrage Movement by organizing protests, marches, and speeches. In 1920, they gave women the right to vote with the 19th Amendment.
- Slide: 2
- In the Progressive Era, labor issues included long/laborious days and little pay in dangerous factories with few safety precautions. As well as child labor, with children working instead of being in school. Labor activists like Florence Kelley, Jane Addams, and Rose Schneiderman organized strikes, protests, and walkouts. To solve these issues, they passed labor laws and formed unions.
- Slide: 3
- Muckrakers were journalists who exposed societal problems during the Progressive Era. Writers like Lincoln Steffens, Ida Tarbell, and Upton Sinclair exposed issues such as unfair business practices, government corruption, and poverty. Revealing these problems forced the government to pass reform laws to make society more honest, safer, and more equal.
