The progressive era is between 1900 (/end of guilded age) and the war in 1914 (sort of continues past but by the crash in '29 it is over for sure).

Its basically all the reform movements when people got fed up with the policies of the guilded age. It includes people like Upton Sinclair and hte creation of the FDA, muckraking journalism (Lincoln Steffens), greater women’s rights, lots of women in support of social change like providing for the poor (very similar to second great awakening), hull houses, reform of corrupt party politics the the 17th? ammendment about direct election of senators isfrom here, the 18th on prohibition, the 19th about women’s suffrage. All sorts of good stuff…
