A pioneer leader for women's rights, Susan Anthony became one of the leading women

temperance, the habit of not drinking alcohol. The temperance movement dealt with the abuses of
women and children who suffered from alcoholic husbands. Also, she worked tirelessly against slavery
and for women's rights. Anthony helped write the history of woman suffrage.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a
real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated
society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen
and women's work was housework. In many places, women were not even' allowed to go to school.
Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high
positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered
women as their property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem
as a fate. Many parents did not even want to daughters.
Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down from
generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key
leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework
such as washing and cooking.
According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day
including working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands. In
