Answer 2

Women at this time were secondary to pretty much everything they were supposed to stay at home tend to things.I found the choices and they are:

A. to show the House that prejudice against blacks was becoming unacceptable
B. to make the House aware of the need for equal rights for everyone
C. to explain to the House that young women need to learn how to type
D. to let Congress know that only two women had ever held Cabinet rank

A they didnt want to just change things for blacks
C computers were not around yet or were only owned by the rich
D this would be meaningless to the Cabinet rank
and B
Because woman have been treated wrongly at the side of men being portrayed as the maid or servant to the men they wanted to be respected as a human.And change things for other people like people of color(although it still didn't change much for them racism was still strong)

B would be your answer
