The idea of women’s suffrage movements is a time of the past, and is a very important part of history to learn and understand. Women decided that they were unhappy in their current lives, and chose to change it. The Gilded Age was a time of major change for the United States. The decisions of women prevented them from being cut short by the changes that men were able to receive. I chose the topic of changing role of women in the “Gilded Age” and chose to dive into the closer idea of women’s suffrage because I feel that this is an extremely important topic that I, personally, have not gained enough knowledge on. During the summer, I completed an internship at the Campbell House Museum. This house/ family history took place in the Gilded Age. While the roles of women were drastically different than they are now, I was not aware of how different it was while working there. Also, I feel like I am able to closely relate to the opinions of these women and gain the knowledge that I hope to with this
