Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer: B. She is pleased with the strides women have made over 50 years.

Explanation:

The excerpts in question show that Lucy Stone was proud of how far women had come in the 50 years since they started actively pushing for women's rights in the very conservative political environment of the 1800s.

Lucy Stone was one of the foremost leaders of the women's rights movement in the 1800s and was a key player in the first National Women's Rights Convention. She gave speeches and wrote extensively to show people why it was important that women had more rights in society and when she was close to death in 1893, was pleased at how far the movement had come.
