Question

one idea shared by all schools of feminist thought is
a) a belief that the roots of gender inequality are biological.
b) that inequality is caused by capitalism.
c) that gender inequality is caused by unequal access to civil rights.
d) that women have an unequal position in society.

Explanation:

Feminist thought, across its various schools (liberal feminism, radical feminism, etc.), fundamentally recognizes that women have an unequal position in society.

• Option a is incorrect as most feminist schools reject biological determinism as the root of gender inequality.
• Option b is wrong because not all feminist thought blames capitalism (e.g., cultural feminists focus more on gender - based cultural differences).
• Option c is too narrow as unequal civil rights access is one aspect, but feminist thought sees a more systemic and broad - based inequality.

Answer:

d) that women have an unequal position in society.
