Question

Single women an widows in the eighteenth-century British North American colonies had the legal right to

hold political office
serve as Protestant ministers
vote
own property
serve as juries

Answer 1

I think it's the fourth one..

Answer 2

There was little change in women's rights in the 18th century. Girls from well off families went to school but it was felt important for them to learn 'accomplishments' like embroidery and music rather than academic subjects.

Nevertheless there were a number of famous women writers and scientists in the 18th century. Maria Kirch (1670-1720) was a famous astronomer. Laura Bassi (1711-1778) became professor of anatomy at Bologna University in 1732. Maria Agnesi (1718-1799) was a famous mathematician and Emilie du Chatelet (1706-1749) was a woman physicist and mathematician. In 1792 Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) published a book called A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. - http://www.localhistories.org/womensrights.html

Yeah. I said the fourth one, which would be D.

Answer 7

Yes D is correct. in the 1840s, state legislatures in the United States[101] and the British Parliament[102] began passing statutes that protected women's property from their husbands and their husbands' creditors. These laws were known as the Married Women's Property Acts. - Wikipedia. This means that women did create and own property
