Read the quote.It is incredible to me that any woman should consider the fight for full equality won. It has just begun. There is hardly a field, economic or political, in which the natural and unaccustomed policy is not to ignore women. . . . Unless women are prepared to fight politically they must be content to be ignored politically.–Alice Paul,Following the passage of the 19th Amendment, 1920
Answer
A
The new law will bring women their goal of equal rights very soon.
B
Women should naturally expect to be treated more fairly under the new law.
C
Women must fight each other politically to achieve true equality under the law.
D
The new law giving women the right to vote was a first step in the long road to equality.
Explanation
Alice Paul says the fight for full equality “has just begun” and warns that women will continue to be ignored unless they fight politically. The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote, but Paul saw voting rights as only a first step toward equality, not the achievement of equality itself. Therefore, the best choice is “The new law giving women the right to vote was a first step in the long road to equality.”
