<span>The speaker retells a story from Greek mythology, the rape of the girl Leda by the god Zeus, who had assumed the form of a swan. Leda felt a sudden blow, with the “great wings” of the swan still beating above her. Her thighs were caressed by “the dark webs,” and the nape of her neck was caught in his bill; he held “her helpless breast upon his breast.” </span>
Answer:
A). The belief that society valued boys more than girls.
Explanation:
Elizabeth Cady Stanton is a leading American Activist and feminist who fought for the rights of women during the early nineteenth century. She was a prominent figure in the suffrage movement and advocated a change in the lives of the women, in both public and private domains. She asked for equal property rights for women along with equal education, opportunities for employment, child custody issues, and much more. She established three different branches of feminism to overturn gender discrimination and injustices done to women.
As per the question, the childhood belief that inspired Stanton to do so would be 'her belief that society valued boys more than girls' and women have been subject to hierarchical oppression and discrimination. This inspired her to be a feminist and activist to fight for the rights of women and become a leading figure in women's suffrage movement. Hence, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

the character in the story; the main character Explanation:
Answer and Explanation:
In the short story "The Red Fox Fur Coat", author Teolinda Gersão plants seeds from the very beginning indicating that the main character, a humble bank clerk, will return to her "foxy" self.
The bank clerk has awakened her primal self, which is represented by a fox. The narrator first indicates that in the very first paragraph of the story, when the clerk sees the fur coat for sale. She is obsessed with it, thinking "[t]here wasn't another one like it." From this point on, the narrator often describes the bank clerk's appearance, thoughts, feelings, and behavior, all of which are becoming more and more wild. Her senses are sharp; her instincts are vivid. She feels powerful, more energetic. She runs, smells, laughs, eats, enjoys life - everything she does is intense, driven. Bit by bit, the narrator reveals the woman's "foxy" self until she is "reincarnating her body, rediscovering her animal body." There is no way to tell her skin from the skin of the coat; no way to tell the woman from the animal anymore.
