The three options that best reflect the role of early social movements in the pursuit of change and reform for women are:
1. **Abolitionists believed in the freedom and rights of all people no matter their gender or race.**
- The abolitionist movement was closely linked to early women's rights movements, as many activists saw the struggle against slavery and the fight for women's rights as interconnected.
2. **Increased access to education allowed women more opportunities to work outside their homes.**
- The push for women's education helped to empower women and provided them with the knowledge and skills necessary to enter the workforce and pursue professional careers.
3. **Greater employment opportunities provided women with financial independence.**
- As social movements advocated for women's rights, they also opened up new job opportunities, allowing women to achieve financial independence, which was critical for their social and political empowerment.
The first option about temperance actually has a more complex relationship with women's rights, and economic dependence on males is more descriptive of the barriers rather than a reforming force.
