Question

Suffrage activists during the Progressive Era varied in their motivations and approaches, often advocating for a range of issues such as labor reform, temperance, and social welfare along with the women's vote. The movement was not free of social and ethnic prejudices, and African American women faced discrimination within suffrage organizations. The campaign for women's suffrage had begun before the Gilded Age, and the movement during the Progressive Era aimed to expand the vote to women of all classes, not just the affluent. While some suffragists did address concerns about women workers, this was not the primary focus of the movement.
