reformers'
Belonging to social improvers
Reformers' is the possessive form of the plural noun reformers—people who advocate for change in laws, institutions, or social practices.
It indicates something belonging to or associated with multiple reformers: the reformers' agenda, the reformers' efforts to end child labor.
The word typically describes those seeking gradual improvement rather than revolutionary overthrow.
