As a 16-year-old girl, I handled the challenges faced during the Gilded and Progressive Eras by thinking about the outcomes if I stood up and made a difference. I focus on improving my education through night school and studying independently. I also get involved in social reforms to improve my life and those of others around me. I build a good group of friends to help me through tough times. Throughout this era, I faced the struggles of limited education, awful working conditions, and inequality because I am considered an immigrant. Also, I overcame them by doing night school studying on my own, and joining any labor unions that would positively affect me, conditions during this time are very hard and the little things like standing up will make a difference, especially if we come together as one. My identity was influenced by the time, place, culture, events, and circumstances of the Gilded and Progressive Era, living in a busy city I was influenced by the people and things I have seen around me like, cultures and social changes. The harsh and hazardous working conditions and limited opportunities for me and other women have made me strong and driven me to get better chances. This era would make me more self-aware and motivated to be better and do the best I can. Connections I draw between the Gilded and Progressive Era's historical themes and my life and experiences today consist of the fights for equality and justice. We will adapt to new challenges and changes just like how we do today. Also, we have community engagement today like how we did in the Gilded and Progressive Eras which is extremely important.
