Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It was during that debate that he introduced, on February 8, 1964, the sex amendment. The amendment was a one-word addition, sex, to Title VII of the bill, which prohibited employers from discriminating on the basis of ace, color, religion, or national origin.

John F Kennedy only appointed two men to the supreme court.

The equal rights Amendment was in the 1970's and not all states have ratified it.

This was a super confusing question because of how vague the answer choices were. I mean yes women were eventually included in the civil rights act, but it didn't protect women in education. And the wage gap still existed after the equal pay guarantees.
