Liberty University HIUS 221 ReadingComprehension Assessment 3Correct AnswersRead the following passage, then answer the questions belowIt is with reluctance that I make the demand for the political rights of woman,because this claim is sodistasteful to the age. Woman shrinks, in the presentstate of society, from taking any interest in politics.
