Question

question 17 1 pts read this excerpt from charlotte perkins gilman’s story the yellow wallpaper: no wonder the children hated it! i should hate it myself if i had to live in this room long. there comes john, and i must put this away,—he hates to have me write a word. what view expressed in this quote is one that writers of feminism rebelled against? women were required to submit to new treatments by physicians. women were not allowed to use their intellects very much. women were expected to submit to authority figures, especially men. women should only work around the house, not outside the home.

Explanation:

Feminist writers rebelled against the idea that women should submit to male authority. The quote shows a woman being told what to do (write a word) by John (a male authority), and feminist literature often challenges such gender - based power dynamics where women are expected to submit to men. The other options: option A is about medical treatment, not a core feminist rebellion point; option C is about intellectual use, not a main feminist concern; option D is about work location, while submission to male authority is a more central feminist rebellion theme.

Answer:

B. Women were expected to submit to authority figures, especially men.
