Question

The 1903 Muller v. Oregon decision upheld_____. A. women’s right to vote B. higher wages for women C. women’s right to birth control D. limited work hours for women

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

Muller v. Oregon was a judicial case that led to the enactment of a landmark decision by the US Supreme Court in 1903. It reaffirmed the allotment of less working hours to women than to men, and refused to allow women to freely negotiate their working contracts as men did. The jury understood that the abilities and functions of women in society were different than those of men, and therefore women should 'be protected' by working less.

Answer 2

D. limited work hours for women

The decision upheld that women should not work for more than 10 hours.
