Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions. Mark your
choice on the answer sheet.
During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organised and
participated in a large number of reform movements, including movements to
reorganise the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, and most
importantly, to free the slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of
women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were
feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A
number of abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Philips, also
supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in

antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism
offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They became involved
primarily in order to better their living conditions and the conditions of others.
When the Civil War ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the
Constitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but
not to women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists influenced more and more
women to demand the right to vote. In 1869 the Wyoming Territory had
yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly
than before. A women's suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress
since 1878 but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth
Amendment granted women the right to vote.
Notes: - suffrage (n.) quyen bau cu
- stubbornly (adv.) mot cach ngoan co .
