The Progressive Era in the United States, which lasted from about 1890 to 1920, was a period of incredible political change. It’s the time when things such as women’s suffrage, reproductive rights, and general social and economic justice were fought for, and won. Labor reform and increased wages took hold, and the movement eventually won a number of important concessions, from the elimination of child labor to the establishment of the 40-hour workweek, but not every battle ended in conclusive success. Many of the same points raised more than a century ago remain hot-button topics even today.
