Choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Until the 19th century, the denial of equal rights to women met with only occasional protest and drew
little attention from most people. Because most women lacked the educational and economic resources
that would enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women generally accepted their
inferior status as their only option. At this time, women shared these disadvantages with the majority of
working class men, as many social, economic, and political rights were restricted to the wealthy elite
[phần tử ưu tú]. In the 19th century, as governments in Europe and North America began to draft new
laws guaranteeing equality among men, significant numbers of women – and some men – began to
demand that women be accorded equal rights as well.
At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the
roles of men and women. Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or crafts-
making, both of which took place in or near the home. Men and women usually divided the numerous
tasks among themselves and their children. Industrialization led male workers to seek employment
outside of the home in factories and other large-scale [extensivve]enterprises. The growing split
between home and work reinforced the idea that women’s “rightful place” was in the home, while men
belonged in the public world of employment and politics.
Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves. The first
wave began around the mid-19th century, when women in the United States and elsewhere campaigned
to gain suffrage [ right to vote in political elections]– that is, the right to vote. This wave lasted until the
1920s, when several countries granted women suffrage.

27. Until the 19th century, what was the status of the working class men in the society?
A. They had the same rights as women. B. They had no right at all.
C. They did not have much power compared to the wealthy people.
D. They had much power in the society.
28. When did the women’s movement start in Western countries? A. in the 18th century B. in the late 18th century C. in the 19th century D. in the early 20th century
