Answer:

Hi there!!

Explanation:

What progress was made by women and other minorities during the Progressive Era (1890-1920)?  

Carrie Chapman Catt, Anna Howard Shaw, and Alice Paul were the major leaders of the women's suffrage movement during the Progressive Era.  

African Americans such as Ida Wells-Barnett and Mary Church Terrell were active as well.

What historical events occurred that hindered the progress toward equality for all Americans?

After the Civil War, Susan B. Anthony, a strong and outspoken advocate of women's rights, demanded that the Fourteenth Amendment include a guarantee of the vote for women as well as for African-American males.  

In 1869, Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton founded the National Woman Suffrage Association.  

Later that year, Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and others formed the American Woman Suffrage Association.  

However, not until the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1919 did women throughout the nation gain the right to vote.
