The gap from 1789 to 1946 is proof of what in the history of women's rights?

Correct answer: A long struggle by women for political rights

The French Revolution of 1789 promoted ideas of liberty and equality, but women did not receive political equality or the vote immediately. In France, women’s suffrage was granted in 1944, first exercised in 1945, and equality of rights was affirmed in the 1946 Constitution. Thus, the long gap shows women’s prolonged struggle for political rights. Option B is incorrect because women did not gain equal suffrage in 1789. Exam tip: distinguish revolutionary ideals from the groups that actually received rights at the time.
