Correct. The answer is c. The author’s main point in this section of the chapter is that, although the changes that transformed American society between the Revolution and the 1820s had little impact on women’s legal status, their marital conditions, or their standing in American churches, the ideology of republicanism continued to promote female education, creating the foundation for future reforms.

Correct. The answer is a. To support her point that the American Revolution did not substantially alter the legal status of white women in the early republic, the author cites the persistence of the legal doctrine of feme covert, which held that a wife’s civic life was completely subsumed by her husband’s.

Correct. The answer is d. To support her assertion that a small group of women actively engaged in preaching during the first decades of the nineteenth century, the author cites the example of Jemima Wilkinson, who proclaimed that she was the incarnation of the “Spirit of Light” and preached openly in Rhode Island and Philadelphia.

Correct. The answer is c. According to the author, states were hesitant to liberalize divorce laws during the early Republic because of their assumption that the institution of marriage protected naturally dependent persons, namely women and children. They feared that easy divorce would make women and children vulnerable to abandonment by their husbands and protectors.

Correct. The answer is b. To substantiate her suggestion that women’s education in the 1810s laid the groundwork for “major changes in the gender system…in the 1830s,” the author cites evidence that female academies taught elocution and persuasion in public speaking, inspiring confidence and eloquence among the women who would later lead reform movements.
