The Progressives pushed for social justice, general equality and public safety, but there were contradictions within the movement, especially regarding race. To many Progressives, especially in the South, black suffrage was becoming a corruptive force and to many of their votes was being controled or purchased by people who wanted a certain president so they worked on minimizing this. The Catholics had their own version of this movement which they used in their schools, hospitals and churches.

founded by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns and they worked to find a passage to a federal amendment to give women the right to vote. They were joined together with the NAWSA. Also they would picket the white house as their sign of protest and the NAWSA didnt agree with this. So this led to them seperating from the NAWSA in 1916 and ended up renaming themselves the National Women's Party. Over 200 of the women were arrested for their demonstration at the White House. Which led to Lucy Burns leading a hunger strike in 1917 which evenutally got people to force feed them and gained sympathy across the nation for women's rights.

A court case that ended up ruling that Title IX which prohibits discrimination based on sex now also prohibits disciplining someone from complaining about sex-based discrimination.

But its mind boggling because they inherited this when most of the people complaining weren't the ones being discriminated against.
