"Progressive Era: Voices of Reform consists of the correspondence, writings, speeches, diaries and photographs of five leading members of the Progressive movement: John R. Commons, Charles R. Van Hise, Richard T. Ely, Edward A. Ross and Charles McCarthy. Individually and collectively, these men proved they were more than idealists by devising and carrying out major reforms to solve the problems caused by the growth of industrialization following the Civil War in areas like employment and child labor, education, taxation, elections, conservation, and regulation of food, public utilities, and corporations. This module offers valuable insight into both the theorizing and practical legislation of the Progressive Era."--ProQuest History vault
