Answer:

                  (a) The liberal politician Carl Welcker, an elected member of the Frankfurt Parliament, says. That (i) Woman is weaker dependent, timid and requires the protection of man and her sphere is the home where she keeps children and does household duties such as cooking, washing, and cleaning, etc. (iii) Equality between the sexes - of woman and man would, only endanger harmony and destroy the dignity of the family. According to Louise Otto-Peters, apolitical activist and founder of a woman's journal and a feminist political association, men try to gain freedom and liberty for all. Actually their untiring efforts, are intended for the welfare of only one half of humanity that is men. She advocated that liberty can not be, divided among the men and women. An Anonymous writer says that It is unjust to discriminate against women on the basis of gender The women should not be deprived of the right to vote while an illiterate man has given the right to vote. The above discussion shows that Louise Otto-Peters and the anonymous writer advocate for women's rights of liberty and equality, but the first writer does not favour woman's rights of liberty and equality.                (b) From the given statement, I have learnt the values like gender equality and women s rights. This also indicates that supporting gender inequality is a crime.
