- IN the Progressive era, Women fought for their right to vote and protested for their rights. The Republican and Progressive parties endorsed Woman suffrage in 1916. IN 1918 Wilson finally gave his support to the suffrage. By linking their cause to the wartime emphasis on national unity, the advocates of woman suffrage finally triumphed. In 1919, congress passed the Nineteenth Amendment, granting woman the vote, and by August 1920 the required two-thirds of the states had ratified it.

- Immigration and urbanization was a big problem in the U.S. during the Progressive era. Immigrants chose to settle in America for job opportunities causing cities to become really over crowded and causing not enough houses for individuals so houses were also overcrowded with people. Immigration restrictions eased the worry about invading foreigners, and sensational wrongdoing by Klan leaders cost it the support of many supporters.

- Labor issues were a major problem during the Progressive era. There were unsafe working conditions and led to many accidents. There were also problems with the amount of hours some people were working and still didn't have a lot of money to make a living. The Fair Labors Act honored the new deal pledge to provide workers with decent standard of living. The new law set wage and hours standards and at long last curbed the use of child labor. The minimum- wage level was twenty-five cents an hour for maximum of forty-four hours a week.
