 Read the passage to answer questions 13-17

During the nineteenth century ,women in the United States organized and participated
in a large number of reform movements ,including movements to reorganize the
prison system, improve education ,ban the sale of alcohol, grant rights to people who
were denied them, and ,most importantly ,free slaves . Some women saw similarities
in the social status of women and slaves. women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Lucy Stone were not only feminists who fought for the rights of women but also
fervent abolitionists who fought to do away with slavery. These brave people were
social leader who supported the rights of both women and blacks. They were fighting
against a belief that voting should be tied to land ownership , and because land was
owned by men , and in some cases by their widows , only those who held the greatest
stake in government, that is the male landowners ,were considered worthy of the vote.
Women did not conform to the requirements.
A number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and
Wendell Phillips, also supported the rights of women to speak and to participate
equally with men in antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement,
abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They become
involved primarily in order to better their living conditions and improve the
conditions of others. However, they gained the respect of those they convinced and
also earned the right to be considered equal citizens.
