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 on 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.
The passage suggests that Lebsock believes that compared to nineteenth-century American women, eighteenth-century American women were

这里的部分的主语都是19ce女人的一些情况，所以题目中的问的18世纪，需要把回文定位的内容都反过来
19ce女人跟18ce相比 real esteate上升，private下降，economy下降，跟男人相比权力下降，less likely to work to supervise schools
那么18ce的情况反过来就可以了，ABDE都说反了。
C from： “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.” what does ’it‘ refer to？ Autonomy！ lost Autonomy in many aspects of the economic sphere in nineteenth century, So 'generally more economically independent' in eighteenth century.

按照kisennana的解释，不太明白，19CE的private比18CE降了，那么18CE的private不能自主权更高吗？所以D为什么不对？
