Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Equal Rights Amendment was not ratified by the necessary number of states, so option A is incorrect. The women's rights movement began earlier than World War I, and while suffrage was a significant victory, it took longer than "a few years" to achieve (option B is incorrect). Option D is partially correct, as some comparable worth policies have been invalidated by the Supreme Court, but not all. Option C is the best choice, as women have indeed made advances in appointive and elective offices, such as with the record number of women elected to Congress in 2018.
