Name one area in which americans were calling for reform at the turn of the twentieth century.

Women's rights. The suffrage movement picked up after the Civil War and was gaining steam going into the 20th century. Women were wanting many changes to society but held no political power to change anything. Women wanted the right to vote so they could contribute to political changes needed to reform other parts of society like working conditions, unions, and immigrant settlement. Women will get the right to vote in 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment.
