Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to the questions from 46 to 50
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 In the 19th century, as governments in Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equally 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
Trang 4numerous tasks among themselves and their children Industrialization led male workers to seek employment outside of the home in factories and other large-scale 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 – that is, the right to vote This wave lasted the 1920s, when several
countries granted women suffrage
46 Why did the denial of equal rights to women draw little attention from the society until
19 th century?
A They could challenge the prevailing social order
B They had some options
C They did not have the disadvantages with most working men
D A majority of women lacked the educational and economic resources
47 Until the 19 th century, the status of the working class men in the society was that …
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
48 Women’s movement started in Western countries ………
A In the 18th century B In the late 18th century
49 What did the effect of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America bring
about?
A Male workers tried to seek employment outside of the home
B It brought the equality to women
C Working class men controlled most positions of employment and power in society
D Women could work outside the home
50 The aim of the women’s movement in the United States in the 1920s was …………
A To gain the right to have much power in the society
B To gain the right to vote
C To gain the right to go to work in the factory
D To have the complete equality to men
