Answer: Marriage
Explanation:
From the passage it is shown that women are to be subservient to men and this was imposed by limiting their education and career choices which are ways of empowering women to break free of patriarchal control.
As marriage is the main way that a woman can be tethered to a man, it stands to reason that women had a lack of independence when it came to their marriage and this is shown by Queen Elizabeth choosing to remain unmarried so that she does not lose her authority as the monarch of England in marriage.
