a$)$ Married women still were viewed as the property of their husbands, but the war offered many opportunities to broaden their social roles by supporting the armies in various ways.

b$)$ Many took over political positions while their husbands were away in battle, since so few men remained in the towns to carry on day$-$to$-$day governance.

c$)$ All women were forbidden from following the army camps because it was too dangerous and continued to remain strictly within the sphere of the household.

d$)$ Many women had access to formal education involving both reading and writing and used this as a way to offset other forms of discrimination still prevalent in society.
