excerpt from woman in the nineteenth century by margaret fuller ossoli
adapted for educational purposes
margaret fuller’s book, woman in the nineteenth century, published in 1845, examines the place of women in society. fuller believed that women, along with other marginalized people, should have the same rights and privileges as white men. she believed that equality should begin in the household. she asserts that despite their equal, if not greater, contributions to a marriage and family, women are oppressed by their husbands and, thereby, society.

what does paragraph 9 suggest about fuller?
fuller is encouraged by men who acknowledge how much women contribute to families and society
fuller believes that women are best suited as leaders in artistic, literary, and religious movements.
she is confident that by convincing one man at a time of women’s rightful place in the home and in society, equality will happen
she feels that as long as men believe they are superior to women, they will

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

1. First option: The passage says women are oppressed, so men acknowledging contributions isn't suggested as encouraging her. Eliminate.
2. Second option: The passage focuses on equality in general, not women as leaders in specific movements. Eliminate.
3. Third option: The passage states Fuller believes equality should start at home and she thinks convincing men one by one about women's rightful place will lead to equality. This matches.
4. Fourth option: The passage is about Fuller's belief in achieving equality by convincing men, not about men's superiority causing oppression (though oppression is mentioned, the focus of the option's logic doesn't align with the paragraph's suggestion about Fuller's confidence in change). Eliminate.

Answer:

She is confident that by convincing one man at a time of women’s rightful place in the home and in society, equality will happen
