Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Harriet Martineau and Ida B. Wells were both prominent figures in social reform, but Martineau's work primarily focused on sociology and the abolition of slavery during the 19th century, while Ida B. Wells was an African American journalist and activist who led an anti-lynching crusade in the United States in the 1890s. The efforts to prevent the implementation of a racial segregation policy in the Chicago public school system and the establishment of settlement houses in Chicago were not directly attributed to them.
