Question: Using the knowledge you’ve gained from the textbook, answer the following question:

Ø Why were women so prevalent in “settlement house” activism during the Progressive Era, and how does the situation in Texas compare to the broader movement at large?

o Your response should be coherent, informative, and analytical and must provide evidence from your textbook. I expect you to write a minimum of 2 paragraphs that are 4-5 complete sentences each. Short sentences and short paragraphs will lose points.
