Question

What was one source of division among the women who were involved in abolition movement?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A). Whether women should be allowed to join in the men's business meetings

The women abolitionists had important differences at the 1840 annual meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Then, at the 1848 First Women's Rights Convention, the Declaration of Sentiments, written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Elizabeth and Mary Ann M'Clintock, was presented and signed by 100 men and women.  

Although they agreed on "all Men and Women are created equal," the members had issues of division such as whether women should be allowed to join in the men's business meetings. Finally, they agreed on women’s right to vote, sign legal documents, equal access to education, and equal access to professions.

I think that your answer is,

A. Whether women should be allowed to join the men's business meetings.
