Presenting a detailed look at the individuals, themes, and moments that shaped this important Progressive Era in American history, this valuable reference spans 25 years of reform and provides multidisciplinary insights into the period. During the Progressive Era, influential thinkers and activists made efforts to improve U.S. society through reforms, both legislative and social, on issues of the day such as working conditions of laborers, business monopolies, political corruption, and vast concentrations of wealth in the hands of a few. Many Progressives hoped for and tirelessly worked toward a day when all Americans could take full advantage of the economic and social opportunities promised by U.S. society. This two-volume work traces the issues, events, and individuals of the Progressive Era from approximately 1893 to 1920. The entries and primary sources in this set are grouped thematically and cover a broad range of topics regarding reform and innovation across the period, with special attention paid to important topics of race, class, and gender reform and reformers. The volumes are helpfully organized under five categories: work and economic life; social and political life; cultural and religious life; science, literature, and the arts; and sports and popular culture Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Chronology -- Volume 1 -- Social and Political Life -- Introduction -- Addams, Jane -- Anthony, Susan B. -- Big Stick Diplomacy -- Birth Control -- The Boxer Rebellion -- Brandeis, Louis -- Bryan, William Jennings -- Bull Moose Party -- Catt, Carrie Chapman -- City Management and Planning -- Corruption -- Country Life Commission -- Du Bois, William Edward Burghardt "W.E.B."--Eighteenth Amendment -- Gentlemen's Agreement -- Gilman, Charlotte Perkins -- The Grange -- Hughes, Charles Evans -- Imperialism -- Initiative and Referendum -- La Follette, Sr., Robert M.
