How can women's low wages and long labour be linked with the background of the Revolution?

Correct answer: It shows that women's problems were economic as well as political.

The governing concept is that a revolution can be understood through both political demands and everyday economic inequalities. Many working women in eighteenth-century France earned lower wages than men and often worked for long hours, while also carrying domestic responsibilities. These conditions made food prices, employment, wages, and family survival important political concerns. Therefore, the correct answer is A: women's oppression was economic as well as political. Option B is false because women did work in domestic service, workshops, markets, and other occupations. Option C wrongly generalises their social position, and option D is incorrect because women did not receive voting rights in 1789.
