Identifying the Central Idea
Which central idea do details in the text support?
O Women need to give up things to have a
revolution
[W]e can have no new deal until great groups of people,
particularly the women, are willing to have a revolution
in thought; are willing to look ahead, completely
unconscious of losing the house on Fifth Avenue as long
as somewhere they have a place to live which they
themselves may gradually make into a home; are willing
to give up constant competition for a little more material
welfare and cooperate in everything which will make all
those around them acquire a little more freedom.
-"What I Hope to Leave Behind,"
Eleanor Roosevelt
O Women need to gain more things to be considered
equal to men.
O Women need freedom to be able to get more
things.
