women were thought to only be house work by cooking and cleaning but during the progressive era the started to get jobs. On the farm the women also worked in houses but also help take care of livestock and plowing the fields. Jobs in the city paid a lot better than farm jobs for women and 25% of them worked in factories. they also got paid about half the ay of men. Many women started to go to college instead of getting married right out of high school. women still couldn't vote or run for office but had small meetings in home to support reform. women started to go door to door in order to gain the same rights that men had. before the civil war most women work in their own house and took care of her family. In 1919 women earned their right to vote.
first they pushed for women to have the right to vote and then they tested the 14th amendment because they thought women were citizens too.
