"We have been driven to the conclusion that only through legislation can any improvement be effected, and that that legislation can never be effected until we have the same power as men have to bring pressure to bear upon our representatives and upon Governments to give us the necessary legislation. . . . We are here not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers."—Emmeline Pankhurst, October 21, 1908

"Use the passage to answer the question. "We have been driven to the conclusion that only through legislation can any improvement be effected, and that that legislation can never be effected until we have the same power as men have to bring pressure to bear upon our representatives and upon Governments to give us the necessary legislation. . . .

Women should be equal to men in every aspect of their lives. Women are justified in breaking the law if that will help bring them equality. Women must have the right to vote in order to win improvements in their lives. Women cannot reform society unless they run for higher office. "

Women must have the right to vote in order to win improvements in their lives.

Explanation:

The text shown in the question above shows how it is impossible for women to seek improvements in their lives if they are not placed in a political context, which allows them not only to understand and participate in political matters, but also to allow them to vote and choose their representatives. If women can vote for their representatives, there will be political strategies aimed at improving the lives of women and they will be able to rely on their representatives so that these strategies are implemented and established in society.

For this reason, we can summarize that the main idea of the text is that women should have the right to vote in order to improve their lives.
