Introduction to Women's Rights during the Progressive Era

During the early 20th century, the United States experienced significant social and political change. Women played a vital role in advocating for their rights, including suffrage (the right to vote), education, and workplace equality. Prominent figures like Susan B.

The period saw many protests, campaigns, and legislative efforts aimed at gaining equal rights for women.
