Reading the passage
Gouges thinks the promise of universal rights has left women behind. Her response is political involvement and direct action, along with changes such as equal access to property and public employment. We need the one choice that isn't part of her proposed path to equality.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
Gouges exposes the inconsistency in revolutionary universalism: women still lack political rights despite the promise of equality. She doesn't treat reliance on that general ideal as an adequate route to change. That is the approach contrasted with her demand for focused action.
- B
She wants women “politically mobilized” and says their political vigilance is necessary. Involvement clearly belongs in her approach.
- C
Equal access to property is explicitly included among the changes needed to end women's disadvantage. Eliminate it on this EXCEPT question.
- D
The opening directly identifies her proposal as a battle through “direct political action.” This is central to her approach.
- E
Public employment appears in the final paragraph's list of changes needed for equality. It is supported, so it cannot be the exception.
