Are the women who become girl computers held to a higher standard? why or why not
sladkih [1.3K]
Yes, the woman who became " girl computers" held to higher standard. The computers are usually dominated by males. Therefore, when woman become girl computers, they tend to have higher standard in order to prove that they are better than man. They set a higher standard for themselves to show that they can also do what males can do.

Who gained the right to vote in the age of Andrew Jackson and who lost the right to vote
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

gained right to vote: all white men

lost right to vote: women and black men

Explanation:

Before the Andrew Jackson era only white men who payed taxes and owned property were allowed to vote in the US. This had some exceptions in some states like New Jersey where women and black men were also allowed to vote if they met certain criteria. This changed when Andrew Jackson assumed the presidency. He changed voting rights and removed the restrictions, allowing all white men above the age of 21 to vote regardless of whether or not they paid taxes or owned land. This unfortunately also removed both women and black men's rights to vote completely in all states.
