Women must have the right to vote in order to win improvements in their lives.

Not much to say about this question except you need to actually read the passage and then see what option matches the passage. So let's do that.


Women should be equal to men in every aspect of their lives. 
* This is not mentioned, although it can be implied. Let's see if there's a better option.

Women are justified in breaking the law if that will help bring them equality. 
* The passage doesn't claim that breaking the law is justified. So it's a bad choice.

Women must have the right to vote in order to win improvements in their lives.
* The phrase "... same power as men have to bring pressure to bear upon our representatives ..." is a MAJOR clue. How you get someone in office to pay attention to you? Answer: By voting for someone else. And if women don't have the vote, then they can't bring pressure to bear because the representatives won't care about women because women can't do anything to replace them with someone who does care. So this is the correct choice.

Women cannot reform society unless they run for higher office.
* The passage doesn't speak of running for office, but instead speaks of bringing pressure upon those who are in office. So this is a bad choice.
