A. When women learn how to read, they are able to better help themselves and others.

Reason: Bush’s speech emphasizes the empowering effects of female literacy—improving women's lives, health, and ability to support their families and communities—rather than limiting the benefit to just helping children or claiming costs or regional exclusivity.
