Progressive Era Women’s Changing Role in the Public Sphere

Using Chapters 8 of Through Women’s Eyes and your lecture notes, write a 3-4 page paper discussing the new ways that women entered “the public sphere” during the Progressive Era.

How did the suffrage movement, the labor movement, World War I, women’s clubs, feminism, and Progressive Era reform work open up new opportunities for women? Discuss how at least three of these issues affected women’s lives at this time.

Your paper should be typed and double-spaced, ideally submitted as a Word doc, with one-inch margins in 12-point font. Cite the textbook or lecture slides by noting the page you are quoting or paraphrasing from at the end of a sentence such as (DuBois and Dumenil, p. 436) or (Woolner lecture, 3/21/22).

Begin with an introduction paragraph, introducing the issues you will discuss and your larger argument, and end with a concluding paragraph restating your major points.
