What was the role of women in the Progressive movement?

ANSWER: Students should see that women were in the forefront of many aspects of the movement. This was particularly true at the municipal level where women like Jane Addams were prominent. Though less well known, club women were also heavily involved in their communities. The growth of the social work profession brought women into the mainstream of reform as well. Women were very involved in the movement for Prohibition. Women were less involved on the state and national level, though the text points to the presence of women in the Progressive Party.
