What is not automatically proved by showing the nation as a female figure?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Women had received real political equality
Representing a nation as a woman is an allegorical device: it personifies an abstract political community and can create emotional identification with that nation. However, a symbolic female image does not by itself prove that women in society enjoyed voting rights, equal representation, or other real political equality. Therefore, option A is the statement that is not automatically proved; B, C, and D describe effects of allegorical representation.
