Part 1: True or False Statements

We need to write T if the statement is true, and F if it’s false.

1. “New Zealand was the first country to allow women to vote.”
→ This is TRUE. New Zealand gave women the right to vote in 1893 — the first self-governing country to do so.

2. “Ecuador was the last country in Latin America to allow women to vote.”
→ This is FALSE. Ecuador actually allowed women to vote in 1929 — one of the *first* in Latin America. The last was Paraguay (in 1961).

3. “Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought for the women’s right to vote.”
→ This is TRUE. They were famous leaders in the U.S. women’s suffrage movement.

4. “In the past, people used to say that women’s brain were inferior.”
→ This is TRUE. Sadly, many people believed this false idea to stop women from getting rights like voting.

5. “In the past, women organized marches, protests, petitions and hunger strikes to win the right to vote.”
→ This is TRUE. Women used all these methods around the world to fight for their right to vote.

✔ So the answers are:
1. T
2. F
3. T
4. T
5. T

Part 2: Match Words to Pictures

We have a word box:
- suffrage movement
- petition
- to vote
- fight for rights
- marches
- hunger strike

Now let’s look at each picture and pick the best word:

Picture 1 (top left): Shows people holding “NO” signs, with food and crossed-out fork/knife → This shows refusing to eat as protest → hunger strike

Picture 2 (top middle): People walking with signs → That’s a protest walk → marches

Picture 3 (top right): A document being signed by many hands → That’s collecting signatures → petition

Picture 4 (bottom left): Hand putting ballot in box → That’s casting a vote → to vote

Picture 5 (bottom middle): Raised fists with “EQUAL RIGHTS” written → Showing strength and demand for fairness → fight for rights

Picture 6 (bottom right): Historical drawing of women marching with banners like “Votes for Women” → This represents the whole campaign → suffrage movement

✔ So the matches are:
Top row: hunger strike | marches | petition
Bottom row: to vote | fight for rights | suffrage movement
