What problem did most poor women face regarding education?

Correct answer: They received little education and training

The governing concept is unequal access to education based on gender and social class in eighteenth-century France. Most poor women did not have the money, time, or institutional opportunity needed for regular schooling. Their families often depended on their labour, and education for girls was not treated as a universal right. As a result, many received little formal education and limited practical training. Option A is correct because it expresses this restricted access. Option B is an extreme and false generalisation: poor women did not all attend universities. Options C and D are also historically implausible; poor women were not generally appointed as royal teachers and were not confined to military education. The question highlights how revolutionary ideas did not immediately remove class and gender inequalities.
