Progressive Era Women’s Changing Role in the Public Sphere
Using Chapters 8 of Through Women’s Eyes and your lecture notes, write a 3-4 page paper discussing the new ways that women entered “the public sphere” during the Progressive Era.
How did the suffrage movement, the labor movement, World War I, women’s clubs, feminism, and Progressive Era reform work open up new opportunities for women? Discuss how at least three of these issues affected women’s lives at this time.
