question 16
which of the following statements best describes womens roles in the civil rights movement?
black womens exclusion from the suffrage movement in the early 1900s left them disillusioned and meant that they were no longer interested in any forms of activism, so they played no role in the civil rights movement.
women were not heavily involved in the civil rights movement because they were focused on the second wave feminist movement.
women were key participants in the early years of the civil rights movement but stopped participating in the movement when it became violent.
even though womens efforts are overshadowed by men, women had a prominent role in boycotts, demonstrations, and acts of civil disobedience and were especially important at the local and grassroots level.
