Political
The Bull Moose Party was an attempt to make the government more efficient. It called for correction of the political nominating organization an an assertive program of social legislation . The 3rd political party did not last long.

The 19th Amendment gave women suffrage. It all started with abolitionists Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Matt, who made a convention in Seneca Falls. These two women and their activists formed more organizations. It took 70 years to finally give women suffrage. Today, women can still vote and that gets more voices out.
