This 25-page resource with 22 primary sources, 27 comprehension questions and 3 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to look in depth at women's experiences and contributions during the Progressive Era. The first two pages include Background, Notes on Primary Sources and Teacher Notes.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women and facing the country during the Progressive Era. These include photographs, speeches, newspaper articles, speeches, pamphlets and reports. Although some issues that Progressive women addressed pertained just to women, many issues were significant to both men and women. For the first time, due to the increased number of women's groups, women were able to influence society outside of the domestic realm such as working conditions, consumer safety, temperance and suffrage to name a few. And, these sources address the fact that discrimination and segregation of African-Americans remained an unresolved issue.
