Women suffrage



During the era of 1900, progressive American women felt as though there must be a time for evolution in the way they are perceived, and their rights as American citizens. Even though the men of that era did not quite agree with such mentality, the women strive to provide a society in which they are viewed as equal and, their opinions and ideas are counted. In addition, a variety of middle class and upper class women formed groups and organizations in order to promote the thought that a woman should be able to vote and a woman should gain the opportunity to choose her profession or attend colleges or universities. These groups of women were known as club women. Even though problems of all sort develop mostly by traditional men, in the end the effort for providing a equal society for women was successful.

Including how men did not agree with the opinions of progressive women was an important detail.
