Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #1217 Darwin theory
Instructions
Darwins  theory  of  natural  selection  captured  the  attention  of  philosophers  and  scientists  all  over  the  world.  He  concluded  that  women  stopped    earlier  than  men  and  so  were  less  developed  mentally  and  less  suited  for  education.  He  said  woman  has  a  head  almost  too  small  for  intellect,  but  just  big  enough  for  love.  But  after  the  Great  War,  the  theory  of  Darwinism  was  rejected  and  women  in  America  were    many  social  and  political  rights.  A  large  number  of  women  started  working  in  the  offices  and  factories  throwing  off  the  shackles  of  Victorian  conventions.  Many  womens  Rights  Movements  started,  the  famous  National  Women  Suffrage  Association  (NWSA)  led  by  Elizabeth  Candy  Stanton  argued  that  marriage  was  set  up  to    men  and  to  disempower  women.  Many  social  feminists  inspired  women  to  get  the  right  to  vote;  the  radical  feminists  contended  that  social  environment  and  not  biology  determined  roles  of  men  and  women  in  society.  In  1919,  the  American  Congress  passed  the  Nineteenth  Amendment  and  all  the  states  approved  it  in  1920.  After  a  long  struggle,  American  women  finally  won  the  right  to  vote.  Thus,  the  image  of  flapper,  an  ideal  of  youth,  beauty  and  freedom  of  action  for  women  became  popular.  From  Seattle  to  Portland,  Los  Angles  to  Kirkland,  the  economy  quickened  and  new    for  women  to  work  in  factories  and  offices  opened.
