Question

What were the efforts of progressives like Ida Tarbell, Jane Addams, and Alice Paul designed to do.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Progressive Era  

"Ida Tarbell was one among the leading muckrakers of the Progressive Era of the late 19th and early  20th centuries and pioneered investigative journalism. Born in Pennsylvania at the onset of the oil  boom, Tarbell is best known for her 1904 book, The History of the Standard Oil Company.

Jane Addams was uncommonly progressive for her time. She campaigned against income  inequality, creating places like Hull House that sought to meet the needs of the poor who lived in cities.  Alice Paul believed that drastic steps were needed to win the vote for the right to vote. By 1913, she  was recruiting women of all backgrounds from all over the nation to join the cause. In 1917, she formed  the NWP(National Woman's Party) which used public marches and protests in front of the white house."
