Question

Select three accomplishments of the first struggle for women's rights in the mid-nineteenth century.

Gained right to keep wages whether married or not

Gained the right to vote in elections

Could be pursued higher education in institutions

Gained the right to own property

Answer 1

Correct choices:
- Gained the right to keep wages (especially for married women through Married Women’s Property laws)
- Could pursue higher education in institutions (opening of women’s colleges and admission to some universities)
- Gained the right to own property (Married Women’s Property Acts and related reforms)

Not an accomplishment of that early period: gaining the right to vote in elections (women’s suffrage was largely won later, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries).
