Why would it be wrong to call the women's movement only an upper class movement?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Working women were active in labour markets and actions like the Versailles march

The direct answer is A: working women were active in labour markets and in actions such as the march to Versailles. Calling the women's movement only an upper-class movement is too narrow because women from different social backgrounds participated. Many working women earned wages, sold goods, worked as domestic workers or contributed to family income. They were affected by food prices, shortages and political decisions. Their participation in popular demonstrations, especially the march to Versailles, shows that ordinary women also acted politically. Option A is correct because it gives concrete evidence of working women's involvement. Option B is wrong because women were not all confined to convents; many worked, marched and took part in political activity. Option C is wrong because working women clearly performed paid and unpaid labour. Option D is wrong because women's clubs were not created only by queens; politically active women from broader groups helped organize them. This does not mean all women had identical experiences: class differences remained important. The balanced conclusion is that educated and wealthy women often wrote or organized, while working women joined protests and economic struggles. Memory cue: never confuse “some leaders were educated” with “only elite women participated.”
