to evaluate the work of female authors who may be unappreciated
Explanation:
The ultimate goal of feminist literary criticism is to uncover and expose patriarchal and underlying tensions within novels and to interrogate the ways in which our base of literary assumptions about such novels are contingent upon female subordination. In this way, the accessibility of the literature broadens the population more comprehensively. In addition, works that historically have received little or no attention, given the history of restrictions on female authorship in some cultures, are capable of being analyzed in their original and integral form. This brings about a wide collection of books for all readers, as all the great works of literature are given without exposing bias towards the influence of the gender system.
The pronoun and antecendent in these sentences are "she; Sally". The pronoun "she" is referring to the proper noun "Sally" which was mentioned in the previous sentence.

The last option "she; home" is wrong since "she" refers to "Sally" in the sentence.
