In the late nineteenth century, white women on the plains: a) had the privilege of owning property b) were generally allowed to vote c) in many places outnumbered men two to one d) could bring law suits

The answer to your question is A.

Back in the 19th century there was a Land Fraud act where people would sell buy acres and acres of land for almost a cent each and then they sold it for really HIGH prices and since this happened they sold this land in bids instead of all at once. People would go back & forth buying this land and if someone managed to buy this bidded land and then died after their wife would take property of the land.
