Answer

The answer is B. Women won the right to vote after World War I.

Explanation
Option A: Women won the right to vote during the Spanish-American War.

This statement is incorrect. The Spanish-American War took place in 1898, and women did not gain the right to vote during this period.

Option B: Women won the right to vote after World War I.

This statement is correct. The 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted women the right to vote, was ratified on August 18, 1920, shortly after the end of World War I (which ended in 1918).

Option C: Women won the right to vote during Reconstruction.

This statement is incorrect. The Reconstruction era followed the American Civil War, lasting from 1865 to 1877. During this time, the focus was primarily on integrating formerly enslaved people into society and rebuilding the Southern states. Women's suffrage was not achieved during this period.

Option D: Women won the right to vote during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency.

This statement is incorrect. Theodore Roosevelt served as President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. The 19th Amendment was not ratified until 1920, after his presidency.
