Answer:
E) Women in many countries gained the right to vote in the years after the war.
Explanation:
Women played a great role on all fronts in World War One, serving with abnegation, heroism and patriotism. After the war, this gave a new momentum to the longtime feminist fight for equal political rights; it increased the political and social pressure for granting women the right to vote. In the US , this was finally granted by the 19th Amendment in 1920.
Beginning in 1801, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland became a single entity. Many Irish were unhappy with this because they felt it diminished their identity as Irish, and because many viewed England as a historical enemy.
Answer:
Colonial women did not care about political events.
Explanation:
During the colonial era our society was shaped by strong patriarchal and misogynistic views, as such women were not included in any political matters. An ideal was constructed that all important decisions and events were to be left to the men and women completed all of the domestic tasks. The women did not really care about political events because it was not their job to. They were told by everyone around them that it was not of their concern and it had nothing to do with them and they went along with this thinking. Mainly women were controlled by the men in their lives, their fathers, their husbands, or even their sons, so if they told them it didn't affect their lives why would they give it a second thought? Of course, there were some women who cared about political events, but generally speaking they did not. This whole idea is very clearly taken from the passage as they spoke of the matter of voting rights. For a country based on democracy to not give women the right to vote, it is basically saying they are not citizens, which technically in many places they weren't. Political events played no role in their lives, thus women did not care about them.
