The Progressive Era, spanning from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, saw several movements seeking to reform society. Key movements included women's suffrage, labor rights, the temperance movement, and efforts against corruption in politics. Activists worked to address social issues like poverty, education, and child labor, promoting legislation for workers' rights and public health. Progressive leaders, such as Jane Addams and Theodore Roosevelt, advocated for reforms that aimed to enhance the roles of government in regulating the economy, protecting consumers, and ensuring that social justice was prioritized in American society.
