Library of Congress, LC-USZ62-1132. Women in the Progressive Era achieved many important reforms. Perhaps their most concrete victory was the passage of the 19th Amendment, enfranchising women. Yet, reform women also began to redefine the role of the federal government in American society.
Other progressive reforms followed in the form of a conservation movement, railroad legislation, and food and drug laws. The progressive spirit also was evident in new amendments added to the Constitution (text), which provided for a new means to elect senators, protect society through prohibition and extend suffrage to women.
