During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a
large number of
reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve
education, ban the sale of alcohol, grant rights to people who were denied them, and, most
importantly, free 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 male abolitionists, including William
Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips, also supported the rights of women to speak and to
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 improve 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 worked tirelessly to influence more and more women
to demand the right to vote. In 1869, the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists,
but the states on the East Coast 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.
Question 28:With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?
A. The Wyoming Territory.
B. Women’s suffrage.
C. Abolitionists.
D. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.
Question 29:According to the passage, why did women become active in politics?
A. To improve the conditions of life that existed at the time.
B. To support Elizabeth Cady Stanton for president.
C. To be elected to public office.
D. To amend the Declaration of Independence.
C. The eastern states resisted the end of the war.
D. Black people were granted the right to vote.
Question 31:The word “it” in line 16 refers to ________.
A. vote B. Congress
C. Nineteenth Amendment D. bill
Question 32:When were women allowed to vote throughout the United States?
A. after 1866 B. after 1870
C. after 1878 D. after 1920
