Women's suffrage was achieved without much resistance from society or government, similar to today's struggle for gender equality.
The Progressive Era saw progression towards gender equality while contemporary society has regressed on this issue..
Both struggles involve efforts toward achieving legal recognition and equal rights, however societal attitudes vary widely between these eras.
