Answer:

Explanation:

1. The text teaches us that women at the beginning of the 20th century were seen as having a passive and submissive nature. They were different than men in the field of education, political rights, and social position, and they didn't have the right to vote. Generally, they were supposed to fight for the family, for men and children, but not for their own gain or human rights.
2. The women who were imprisoned preformed the hunger strikes as a form of protest. This way they would be released earlier.
3. World War I ended up serving women's cause; during it, Emmeline Pankhurst encouraged women to stop protests and join manufacturing. This way men could fight the war, which the government saw as women's contribution. Because of this, they gave women limited voting rights in The Representation of the People Act in 1918, and later a right to run for a parliamentary position.
4. Pankhurst's example and contribution encouraged women to use their voice, make their place in society and make their opinions matter. Her efforts also gave women the option to protest when the problems would arise.
