Question 9 • New Mexico History

How did women’s wartime work support voting rights in New Mexico?

Answer
A
It replaced local governments with volunteer groups.
B
It proved women could lead in factories, farms, and hospitals.
C
It ended all forms of job discrimination after 1918.
D
It guaranteed the immediate election of women to Congress.

Explanation

Women’s work during wartime showed that they could take on important responsibilities in factories, on farms, and in hospitals. This helped strengthen the argument that women deserved the right to vote. Wartime work did not end all job discrimination or guarantee women election to Congress, so B is correct.
