The years of the progressive era, from 1900 to 1917, were about to include many political, economic and social reforms in American life. The "Woman Suffrage" movement was one of these reforms, for progressives viewed it as a "viable means of achieving significant social reform". The term is applied to the right of a woman to vote for candidates for "public office and on all public questions, and to serve as elected government officials".
This exhibit highlights the most important items included in the Woman Suffrage and the League of Women Voters collections of the Dayton Metro Public Library addressing this issue.
