Question

question 9 of 10
the success of women in the west in gaining voting rights first in the united
states most supports the idea of:

a. a reliance on tradition in the west.

b. a respect for nature in the west.

c. a get - rich - quick attitude in the west.

d. a spirit of independence in the west.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Gaining voting rights for women was a break from traditional gender roles (where women had limited political rights), so it does not support reliance on tradition.
• Option B: The issue of women's voting rights has no direct connection to respect for nature.
• Option C: Women's suffrage in the West is not related to a "get - rich - quick" attitude.
• Option D: The West in the US was associated with a spirit of independence (e.g., frontier spirit, new beginnings, challenging established norms). Women gaining voting rights first in the West aligns with this spirit of breaking from old norms and seeking independence in political participation.

Answer:

D. a spirit of independence in the West.
