Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
The sentence structure and context suggest that women achieved their present status through efforts and sacrifices rather than relying on men's kindness. The word "struggle" fits well in this context, as it conveys the idea of a challenging and persistent effort made by women to gain their rights and improve their status.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Happiness is a state of well-being and contentment.
- Dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honour and respect.
- Joy is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
Therefore, the correct answer is struggle.
