Question 16 • Civics and Government

How did the role of women during World War I affect the suffragist movement?

Answer

Women did not fight in the war, which turned the public against the suffragist movement.

Women served as nurses and ambulance drivers during the war, convincing people to support their right to vote.

Women took factory jobs in the US during the war, but their work did not impact the suffragist movement.

Many women refused to contribute to the war effort unless they were given the right to vote.

Explanation

During World War I, women supported the war effort in roles such as nursing and driving ambulances. Their visible service and contributions helped persuade the public that women deserved full citizenship, including the right to vote. So the best choice is “Women served as nurses and ambulance drivers during the war, convincing people to support their right to vote.”
