French women receiving suffrage in 1946 tells what about the revolutionary period?

Correct answer: Women's political rights were not achieved during the revolutionary period, and suffrage came much later

Option D is correct. The French Revolution strengthened the language of equality and rights, but it did not grant women political rights equal to those of men. Women formed clubs, submitted petitions and demanded suffrage, yet they remained excluded from voting for a long time. Thus, suffrage arriving much later shows that women’s political equality remained incomplete during the revolutionary period. The closest distractor, B, is wrong because women did demand rights. Exam tip: connect women’s political demands with women’s clubs and Olympe de Gouges.
