question 9 of 10
how were women viewed in the new nation after the revolutionary war?
a. women were allowed some of the same rights as men, but not able to vote.
b. women were able to work outside of the home but had to give their pay to their husbands.
c. women were not given the same rights as men and expected to stay home and raise children.
d. women were treated as equals to men and afforded the right to vote right away.

Explanation:

After the Revolutionary War, women were not given the same rights as men. The ideal of Republican Motherhood emphasized women's role in raising virtuous citizens (children) in the home rather than granting them extensive political or social equality. They were not allowed to vote (women's suffrage came much later), and there was no widespread recognition of equal rights in the immediate post - Revolutionary period. Option A is incorrect as women were not really "allowed some of the same rights as men" in a comprehensive sense. Option B is not a common characterization of the post - Revolutionary view of women. Option D is wrong because women were far from being treated as equals and did not get the right to vote right away.

Answer:

C. Women were not given the same rights as men and expected to stay home and raise children.
