Question

Which of the following best describes the effect the Revolution had on women's status?

A. The exclusive focus of the Revolution on male citizenship hurt early campaigns for women's rights; the Revolution was a step backward for women.

D. The Revolution didn't significantly affect the status of American women, although both the experience of war and republican ideology offered women some new opportunities to take part in public affairs.
E. Women in the South gained more legal rights as a result of the Revolution; the rights of women in New England were restricted.

Answer 1

Definately D. Women's Rights movement didn't really blossom until 1848 when the groups Declaration of Rights and Settlements was introduced.

Answer 2

I pick D as it seems to make the most sense. However all 5 choices are subjective and you'd have to provide a lot of evidence to back them up in a debate.

I think A is wrong because there is no way women where better off under the King then under the new US government. I think B doesn't make much sense. C would not apply for another 100 years. D makes no sense either.

Answer 3

D The reason I chose D was because the other 4 signify an upward turn in the status of women which really did not get refined and head in an upward direction until we left the dominant agricultural economy of the early years of the US.

Answer 4

i like D, since it was still largley an agrian society i would doubt much actual change.
