Two works published in 1984 demonstrate contrasting approaches to writing the history of United States women.Buel and Buel’s biography of Mary Fish (1736–1818) makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one southern community, but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century. Although both books offer the reader the opportunity to assess this controversy regarding women’s status, only Lebsock’s deals with it directly. She examines several different aspects of women’s status, helping to refine and resolve the issues. She concludes that while women gained autonomy in some areas, especially in the private sphere, they lost it in many aspects of the economic sphere. More importantly, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference: in many respects, women lost power in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men. Yet women also gained power in comparison with their previous status, owning a higher proportion of real estate, for example. In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status.
【OG20-P439-555题】
The passage suggests that Buel and Buel’s biography of Mary Fish provides evidence for which of the following views of women&'s history?
定位与文中末句,本文末句提到了B和B所撰写的他人的传记提供原始材料打破了一些历史学家提出的关于殖民地时期女性地位的“黄金期”的错误观点,这也就是说B的作品可以服务于那些认为女性地位在18世纪殖民地时期不高的观点
A错误,与男性无关
B错误,与be concerned with their status无关
C正确,此选项中的“not as favorable for women”符合文章意思
D错误,more economically autonomy in the colonial era than in the nineteenth century虽然在文章中曾经提及,但该选项支持了历史学家关于殖民地时期女性地位的观点,而并非打破
E错误,同上
原句“ for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century ”。myth是神话的意思,不是迷宫(maze),所以historians fostered a myth, B&B was questioning the myth -- 对应C,历史学家神话了十八世纪女性的地位,但是B&B提出了否定了。
In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status.
Buel and Buel’s biography of Mary Fish给关于女性地位提供了什么? 我去这道题我有毒,我没有定位到好句子,定位在这一句Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status. 关键在这里:questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age:BB质疑了historian关于a colonial golden age的观点,也就是说a colonial golden age不是某些历史学者说的那样
“In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century” 只能结合全文理解,这里说的黄金期是女性地位黄金期 Buel和Buel的传记为质疑一些历史学家所鼓吹的十八世纪殖民时代女性地位神话提供了充足的原始材料 question v. 质疑
a colonial golden time 黄金期,说明殖民时期是女性地位的黄金期
questioning!
questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century
myth是虚拟的事实的意思,原文的意思是一个被历史学者相信的虚拟的黄金期。所以作者的本意就是实际上并不是黄金期,选C。
历史学家并没有说黄金时期是女性地位的黄金期啊?为什么末句要这么理解呢?
