Question 11 • Survey of U.S. History - SS3313 IC

What was the biggest obstacle to women gaining more rights in the 1800s?

Answer
A
Women could not own property.
B
Only unmarried women had rights.
C
Women did not have the right to vote.
D
Only a few women went to college.

Explanation

Women’s lack of the right to vote was a major obstacle because it kept them from influencing laws and choosing leaders who could expand their rights. The correct choice is “Women did not have the right to vote.” Property laws and limited access to college also restricted women, but voting rights were central to gaining political power and changing those restrictions.
