The Past Week in Two Paragraphs

Throughout this last week we have talked in Literature class a little about the progressive movement and what I had caused for America at the time and woman suffrage. In the first couple days we talked a little bit about what the progressive movement is. This is important to get this basis first before looking into woman suffrage. What we look at for the progressive movements was the factories that the workers had to work in and the conditions that the children and woman had to endure each and everyday for 12 hours on end.
After looking into the progressive era you can see that it directly links to woman suffrage. You can see that the woman were trying to raise their power within the US by obtaining jobs and trying to get their right to vote. The men of the country didn't like this though and you could see them subtly repressing the up rising that was occurring with different medical treatments. They would use treatments that unknowing to the woman would make them in essence incapacitated. They would force feed them, kill their brain cells, and blame their period for their faults. Due to these oppressions woman had a hard time during the early 1900's and earlier getting their voice heard, it wouldn't be until WWI that they would finally get a breath of fresh air.
