Women's desire for freedom is born of the feminine spirit, which is the absolute, elemental inner urge of womanhood. It is the strongest force in her nature; it cannot be destroyed. The chief obstacles to the normal expression of this force are undesired pregnancy and the burden of unwanted children. Society, in dealing with the feminine spirit... can resort to violence in an effort to enslave the elemental urge of womanhood, making of woman a mere instrument of reproduction and punishing her when she revolts. Or, it can permit her to choose whether she shall become a mother and how many children she will have. It can go on crushing what is uncrushable, or it can recognize woman's claim to freedom, and cease to impose destructive barriers. . . .
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Women's desire for freedom is born of the feminine spirit, which is the absolute, elemental inner urge of womanhood. It is the strongest force in her nature; it cannot be destroyed. The chief obstacles to the normal expression of this force are undesired pregnancy and the burden of unwanted children. Society, in dealing with the feminine spirit... can resort to violence in an effort to enslave the elemental urge of womanhood, making of woman a mere instrument of reproduction and punishing her when she revolts. Or, it can permit her to choose whether she shall become a mother and how many children she will have. It can go on crushing what is uncrushable, or it can recognize woman's claim to freedom, and cease to impose destructive barriers. . . . Briefly explain ONE way that this excerpt illustrates change in the development of women’s right in American History. Briefly explain ONE major development from the 1920s NOT mentioned specifically in the excerpt that supports Sanger’s argument.
Answer and Explanation:
The paragraph presented in the question above shows how women's rights have evolved slowly, since it was necessary, first, for women to understand their roles within society, their loyalty to themselves and their desires. This was seen in American society as an affront, as many believed that the search for rights was a way for women to abandon their gender roles and began to punish them in the most diverse ways, so as not to allow them to leave the social bubble. which were contained.
A major leap forward in the development of women's rights in 1920 was the permission to vote. Although this was not mentioned directly in the text, we can consider that the vote gave a lot of power to women and allowed a greater motivation for the search for equality and autonomy.

4. T/F Europe has a generally flat and open topography that has left the continent vulnerable to invasion.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The topography of the European continent is mostly flat, especially in the Eastern part of the continent where the Northern European Plain becomes the immense Russian steppe that is only separated from Asia by the Ural Mountains.
This open topography has made the continent vulnerable to invasion until recently. This is why Huns in the Late Antiquity, and the Mongols in the Middle Ages, were able to sweep the continent coming from the same place: Mongolia.
