Solution
The correct option is A Declaration of Rights of Men
During medieval and early modern times, women were dominated by men not only in Europe but across the world. They did not have access to property or civil rights like voting.They were mostly restricted to domestic work like cooking, bringing up children, taking care of the elderly at home and assisting men at work. This started to change with industrialization as women began to be employed in factories in large numbers. As women came out of their houses to work and earn, they developed a new identity of themselves and their role in society. Thus, when the French Revolutionaries were preparing the Declaration of Rights of Men in 1791, many French women protested against this and drafted a separate Declaration of the Rights of Women.
