Which occurred after women earned the right to vote?
a)women were still unable to serve in government.
b) women serve in government but are still underrepresented.
c)women now serve as a majority in congress.
d) women can run for office but do not get elected.

The correct answer is B) Women serve in government but are still underrepresented.

Even though women gain the right to vote thanks to the 19th Amendment (1920), they are still vastly underrepresented in Congress. To this day, a relatively small amount of women serve in the Senate and House of Representatives. This can be contributed to several different factors, depending on the historical time period.

When this amendment initially passed, women were still seen as people who were meant to stay home, take care of children, and complete other domestic chores. These stereotypes negatively impacted women who aspired for political careers, as some men would refuse to vote for a woman candidate.
