In what year did women gain membership in FFA?

• A. 1965
• B. 1969
• C. 1971
• D. 1988

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is how FFA opened its membership to all students, regardless of gender. Historically, the organization was restricted to male students. In 1969, that policy changed and women were allowed to join, making FFA a co‑educational organization. This shift aligned with broader movements toward gender equality in education and youth programs, unlocking leadership opportunities, competitive events, and membership benefits for female students within agricultural education. For additional context, the period also saw other inclusive changes in FFA history, such as integrating members from the New Farmers of America, but the specific year women first gained membership is 1969.
