question 5 of 5
in this cartoon, what does the woman walking eastward symbolize?
a. freedom and liberty expanding from western states to eastern states
b. womens right to vote expanding from western states to eastern states
c. women moving east to gain the right to vote
d. womens right to own property expanding from western states to eastern states

Explanation:

The cartoon depicts a woman walking eastward over a map of the US, with western states (where women's suffrage was often adopted earlier) and eastern states. The context of women's suffrage history shows that women's right to vote expanded from western to eastern states. Option A is too general, C implies physical movement (not symbolic expansion), D is about property rights (not the focus here). So B matches the symbolic expansion of women's voting rights.

Answer:

B. Women's right to vote expanding from western states to eastern states
