The three progressives who stood out during the progressive era were Ida Tarbell, Jane Addams and Woodrow Wilson. The movement emerged from the 1890s to the 1920s, as a result of the negative effects that industrialization had on society.
Some goals of progressive reformers were to eliminate unfair practices, reduce corruption, protect workers and regulate industrialization in America.
Ida Tarbell was a pioneer of investigative journalism, and one of her many contributions to social justice was her exposure of Standard Oil's corrupt practices.
Jane Addams was a progressive leader who founded Full House in Chicago to aid immigrants, also contributed to the right to women's suffrage, and was a peace activist, becoming the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
Woodrow Wilson was a president of the US from 1913 to 1921, his main contributions to progressivism being the expansion of government regulation to private industry and protections for the environment, consumers and workers.
