B. Stanton never receives the recognition she wishes for

from her father.

Explanation:

This is the excrept from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's "Eighty Years And More: Reminiscences 1815-1897".

This particular excerpt deals with her school years in which her desire to impress her father was the main motive for doing good in school.

However, in spite of all her success, we can infer that her father always compares her to a son, refusing to acnowledge the equality between the two.

This leaves her without the father's recognition she longed for all those years.
