Answer:

The correct answer is the third statement, to grant women the right to vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Progressives fought for the women's right to vote mostly because they believed that the female vote would be a purer presence in the public arena.

These activists, mostly women organized around clubs but not only, took advantage of ideals of motherhood and purity to argue their active participation in public affairs would improve American society. They would take care of public matters as they did with their domestic issues.
