Sagot :

B. Some of the most prominent advocates for women's suffrage were imprisoned and they even attempted a hunger strike which forced the prison staff to force feed them with a funnel.

Well-known women were jailed for trying to vote, gaining national publicity is a method used to obtain support for the 19th Amendment.      

  • The 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote without discrimination based on gender.
  • Before approval of the 19th amendment, only white men in America were allowed to vote and elect the government.
  • Several protests and rallies were held by women to gain equal rights as men in America.
  • Sending women to jail for trying to vote obtained support from the public because it was a national issue related to women as they were fighting for their rights.

Therefore we can conclude that the imprisonment of women helped well known women to gain support for the cause.

Thus option C is the correct answer.
