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.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest.

Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and identify bias.

Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY (Historical Context, Audience, Purpose, Point of View and Why Significant). There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to the sources.

Three DBQ prompts are included at the end with instructions on how to create a response to the prompt.

An Answer Key to all the comprehension questions and the DBQ prompts are available at the end of the packet. This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

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 World War I. These include photographs, speeches, newspaper articles, posters, pamphlets and memoirs.

Suffragists saw an opportunity to help support the war and their own cause. Additionally, African-Americans from the South, lured by jobs and opportunities in the North, came to the North in large numbers as part of the Great Migration. Some fallout from the war included the Spanish flu epidemic and the Red Scare, which affected women directly or indirectly.

Topics include the following:
Women Workers
Nurses during World War I
Suffrage and the War

Women Volunteers
African-American Women and the Great Migration
Life on the Home Front
Spanish Flu Epidemic

They will be able to determine the motives and reasons behind the movement, who played key roles in advancing the movement and how and whether the movement was successful. In addition, there are two Document-Based Questions (DBQs). Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources include speeches, essays, a declaration and cartoons. Each page of primary sources includes questions. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is available at the end of the packet.
