Women's right to vote
This photo portrays women's rights. For many years they were not allowed to vote and were always looked at stay at home moms and couldn't work outside the home. This picture shows women were finally able to vote and what it looked when this happened. This photo could fall under women's rights or it could fall under political changes; once this happened many things began to change for women, like women's working rights.
Muckrakering
Muckraking falls under the term of Progressive Reformers. Ida Tarbell and Lincoln Steffen were two of the famous Muckrakers of the Progressive Era. Muckrakers are people who show the bad things that actually go on behind "closed doors". For example when people like Ida found out that people like Rockefeller were making people work many hours for little pay, it was announced and it resulted in America having better working rights.
Temperance Movement
The Temperance Movement prohibited alcohol. This law was put to force by christian women. Alcohol was looked at a way for men to abuse there wives, leave there wives, and was looked at as a way for men to stay away from there families. This movement declined the amount of abuse and a way for men to be more involved with there families.
