During the Progressive Era, women played vital roles in the reform efforts that aimed to address social issues and improve America's society. They joined various organizations and advocated for change in areas such as women's suffrage, labor rights, and child labor. Activists like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought for women's right to vote through the formation of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). Women reformers also focused on improving the lives and working conditions of women in the workforce, leading to the passage of legislation that restricted child labor and ensured fair wages. Their tireless efforts paved the way for significant societal progress and laid the foundation for future feminist movements.
