Dear Aunt Bessie
Dear Aunt Bessie, November 25, 2013
Knock knock. Who’s there? I don’t know just read this letter Aunt Bessie. So as you know progressivism is a series of reforms needed in order to repair the underside of America. You also are aware that you have asked me to give away your million dollars to three reform movements in the levels of $600,000, $300,000, and $100,000. The three problems I came up with are women’s suffrage, food safety, and child labor. I have decided that Woman’s suffrage will receive the $600,000. I have decided this because with the beginning of women’s suffrage my two other issues could also be improved. As Jane Addams says in Ladies home journal “(If) woman would fulfill her traditional responsibility to her own children … then she must bring herself to use the ballot … American women need this … to preserve the home.” “She cannot even secure untainted meat for her household … unless the meat has been inspected by city officials …” This excerpt from her entry relates to my secondary problems I want to support because she mentions the ‘traditional responsibility to her own children’ which relates to child labor, with the beginning of suffrage mothers could promote laws against child labor and conditions. This excerpt relates to food safety because she blatantly mentions mothers can’t secure untainted meat without the help of city officials. The right to vote is also a basic right for every U.S citizen, not every male U.S citizen. I have decided that Food Safety will receive the $300,000 gift. I decided this because we need untainted meat in order to survive. Untainted meat could be, and most likely are, the source of the all the diseases and sickness going around. “There would be meat that had tumbled out onto the floor, in the dirt and sawdut, where the workers had tramped and spit…. There would be meat piled stored in great piles in rooms; and the water from leaky roofs would drip over it, and thousands of rats would race about on it.”-
