Women were a major part of several reform movements of the 1800s and early 1900s. These reform movements sought to promote basic changes in American society, including the abolition of slavery, education reform, prison reform, women's rights, and temperance (opposition to alcohol).

Women were the main catalysts for the several reforms that happened during the 1800s. Most of the reforms aimed to make deep change in American society, they were the abolition of slavery, education reform, prison reform, women's rights and opposition to alcohol. Even though that most abolitionists were against the participation of women in the abolitionist movement, some of them accepted them and this was the beginning of the women's vote movement.
