The Progressive Movement

One of the biggest changes with the progressive movement throughout society came in leaps and bounds with the rights of women in the United States Of America. At the time of the progressive movement, women had very little rights, not even the right to vote as all citizens do now days. The cause for this advancment was women advocasists Jane Addams who helped not only found the WTUL ( National womens trade union league) which helped raise conditions in working enviroments for women, but also the NAWSA (national american womens sufferage assossocation) which is the orginazation that eventually helped to gain women the right to vote, along with the 19th admentment in 1919.
