Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is "quasi-legal" because, historically, while women were largely excluded from the formal legal profession, they often engaged in work that had legal characteristics or was related to the law, but wasn't officially recognized as part of the legal profession. This includes roles like mediators, notaries, or other positions that involved legal knowledge and skills but did not equate to being a licensed attorney or holding an official position within the legal system.
