7. How did upper-class women participate in Latin American revolutions? A. Serving as cooks
B. Fighting in combat
O C. Contributing financially
D. Acting as messengers

ANSWER

ContribContributing financially

Explanation:

As with many other revolutions, women participated but did not gain much. Upper-class women regularly contributed financially to independence movements, while working-class women served as cooks and carriers in "women's brigades" for the military. Despite these efforts, women were denied participation in public and political life after independence. Yet, women did gain access to higher education in some countries.
