Scholars working on the history of women in modern Ireland have in general followed the lead of scholars of women’s history in other countries, concentrating their attention on the suffrage movement. In Ireland this movement peaked in the 1920s, coinciding with the emergence of the Irish state, and the interaction between the suffrage movement in Ireland and Ireland’s struggle for independence from Great Britain has been the subject of considerable analysis. From the exhilarating heights of the revolutionary period, the women’s movement in Ireland appears, not surprisingly, to have undergone a major decline: descriptions of women’s lives in independent Ireland provide a dreary litany of legislative restrictions on women’s rights.
Focusing on the revolutionary period, however, may have exaggerated both the status accorded Irish women in the early twentieth century and the repressive nature of the new Irish state. The women involved in the suffrage movement were a small, elite minority; the extent to which the movement engaged the wider female population remains unclear. Additionally, certain features of the lives of Irish women that were economically determined and that predated the foundation of the Irish state are often attributed to political factors associated with Irish independence. As a result, little account has been taken of real, if modest, gains made by Irish women in the 1930s in the realm of employment.

A. Legislative restrictions on women’s rights
B. Active participation in the suffrage movement
C. Increased social mobility
D. Limited access to wage labor
E. Lack of involvement in the independence movement
The author, by stating “features of the lives of Irish women", means that there is another factor, apart from the suffrage movement, that explains women's status. This factor, according to the passage, was economically determined.
By POE, A, B amd E should be out immediately because they are related to the suffrage movement.
Then C vs D.
The author concludes that little account had been taken of real, if modest, gains made by Irish women in the 1930s in the realm of employment.
So D is the winner.

Hi, @Bunuel can you explain why the inferrence question is 'Limited Access to Wage Labour'?
I would have thought it was Legislative restrictions on women's rights
