Okay, so you're talking about the 1890s-1920s "Progressive" Era of Prohibition and Sufferage.

Yeah, as that's what that time period is called: "Progressive Era".

Not the 1930s-70s New Deal / Great Society period of progressivism

No, I am not referring to the period following Prohibition Era and the Great Depression which was an intermediate (1920s-1930s) before New Deal.

If you're taking issue with the 'Progressive Era' being called 'Progressive' then sure. I get you then. It mostly just achived women's suffrage as a meaningful milestone, as I said.
