This 16-slide PowerPoint presentation covers the Progressive Era between 1900-1920. It is an ideal lesson to augment a Progressive Era lesson or as a stand-alone resource for women’s history. The presentation includes descriptive text as well as primary sources. It is also a good resource during Women’s History Month!

Each slide contains information and graphics that highlight how women participated in the many reform movements of the era.

Topics include:
Background and causes of the Progressive Era
