Question

One of the first cases championed by NOW (the National Organization for Women) involved Lorena Weeks, applied for a position as "switch-man" with Southern Bell, a job for which she was the best qualified according to Southern Bell's own seniority rules. Her application was turned down and she was told that the job was reserved for men only in part because "men are the breadwinners" and because the job required lifting items that weighed as much as 30 pounds (a weight considered too heavy for women to lift). Which is NOT one of the reasons Lorena wanted this job

Answer 1

Answer: e. she hated men and wanted to take jobs away from men

Step-by-step explanation:

The National Organization for Women is a feminist group in the United States that advocates for equal rights for women.

Lorena Weeks filed a case against her employers Southern Bell in 1966 after they told her that women should not work jobs where they were required to lift more than 30 pounds yet in her current position in the company she was lifting 34 on average daily.

She needed the money to support herself and family and was qualified for it. And she knew she could do it as well and wanted the challenge. She did not hate men and want their jobs, she just wanted what she was qualified for.

After winning on appeal in 1969, she got the job and was paid accrued wages.
