Question

NEED HELP PLEASE ANSWER! What caused women to want to get involved in social reform during the 1830s? Pressure from their husbands and other men The social need to belong to a women's group The desire to have some level of power in society The belief that it was their civic duty to help society

Answer 1

desire to have some level of power in society

Answer 2

I believe that the third answer:

The desire to have some level of power in society

Makes the most sense.

The empowerment for women came from inside, so alternative 1 doesn't make sense. Also, they already belonged to women's group. The last also isn't valid at the same time: at the time it was not yet seen as women's duty to be politically active, they were only starting to fight for it.
