Women’s Rights, rights that establish the same social, economic, and political (41) ……… for women and men. Women’s rights guarantee that women will not face discrimination on the basis of their sex. Until the second half of the 20 th century, women in most societies were denied some of the legal and political rights accorded to men. (42) ……… women in much of the world have gained significant legal rights, many people believe that women still do not have complete political, economic, and social equality with men.

Many people believed that women’s natural roles were as mothers and wives.

Until the 19th century, the denial of equal rights to women met with only occasional protest and drew little attention from most people. Because most women lacked the educational and economic resources that would enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women generally accepted their inferior status as their only option. At this time, women shared these disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as many social, economic, and political rights were restricted to the wealthy elite. In the 19 th century, as governments in Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equally among men, significant numbers of women – and some men – began to demand that women be accorded equal rights as well. At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the roles of men and women. Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or crafts-making, both of which took place in or near the home. Men and women usually divided the.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(4)</span> numerous tasks among themselves and their children. Industrialization led male workers to seek employment outside of the home in factories and other large-scale enterprises. The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that women’s “rightful place” was in the home while men belonged in the public world of employment and politics. Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves. The first wave began around the mid-19th century, when women in the United States and elsewhere campaigned to gain suffrage – that is, the right to vote. This wave lasted the 1920s, when several countries granted women suffrage. 46. Why did the denial of equal rights to women draw little attention from the society until 19th century? A. They could challenge the prevailing social order. B. They had some options. C. They did not have the disadvantages with most working men. D.

They had no right at all. C. They did not have much power compared to the wealthy people. D. They had much power in the society. 48. Women’s movement started in Western countries ………………….. A. In the 18th century B. In the late 18th century C. In the 19th century D. In the 20th century 49. What did the effect of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America bring about? A. Male workers tried to seek employment outside of the home. B. It brought the equality to women. C. Working class men controlled most positions of employment and power in society. D.
