Question

what combination of events that encouraged middle-class and working-class women to increasingly support the woman suffrage movement during the progressive era

Answer 1

progressives were looking to change the problems of industrial society. Reformers wanted to tackle the tensions of urbanization, professors wanted new ideas to guide remedial action, and journalists exposed government corruption. Business leaders wanted to enforce efficiency and regulation, and industrial workers struggled to improve their bad working conditions. Women organized to protect their families and homes.
