Question

which of the following was a significant social change during the gilded age?
women formed suffrage groups
women formed labor unions
employers stopped hiring children
employers created workplace protection for children

Explanation:

During the Gilded Age (late 19th century), the women's suffrage movement gained momentum, with women forming suffrage groups to fight for the right to vote. Labor unions were more associated with working - class men and broader labor movements, not specifically women - formed labor unions in a defining social change way. Employers did not stop hiring children (child labor was prevalent), and workplace protection for children was not a creation of employers during this time (it came later with reform efforts). So the significant social change was women forming suffrage groups.

Answer:

A. women formed suffrage groups
