Read the excerpt from Loom and Spindle.

My mother's boarders were many of them young men, and usually farmers' sons. They were almost invariably of good character and behavior, and it was a continual pleasure for me and my brothers to associate with them. I was treated like a little sister, never hearing a word or seeing a look to remind me that I was not of the same sex as my brothers. I played checkers with them, sometimes "beating," and took part in their conversation, and it never came into my mind that they were not the same as so many "girls."

Which statement best reflects the narrator’s perspective in the excerpt?

Answer:

The narrator perspective is gender equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Loom and Spindle or Life among the early Mill Girls is written by Harriet Hanson Robinson and was published in 1898. The narrator is trying to portray the hidden powers of a girl. She can compete with anyone and has the ability to beat men also. She has hidden talent and capabilities which she does not express much but she proves her potential when she get the chance.
