Recent feminist scholarship concerning the United States in the 1920s challenges earlier interpretations that assessed the 1920s in terms of the unkept "promises" of the women’s suffrage movement. This new scholarship disputes the long-held view that because a women’s voting bloc did not materialize after women gained the right to vote in 1920, suffrage failed to produce long-term political gains for women. These feminist scholars also challenge the old view that pronounced suffrage a failure for not delivering on the promise that the women’s vote would bring about moral, corruption-free governance. Asked whether women’s suffrage was a failure, these scholars cite the words of turn-of-the-century social reformer Jane Addams, "Why don’t you ask if suffrage in general is failing?"
In some ways, however, these scholars still present the 1920s as a period of decline. After suffrage, they argue, the feminist movement lost its cohesiveness, and gender consciousness waned. After the mid-1920s, few successes could be claimed by feminist reformers: little could be seen in the way of legislative victories.
During this decade, however, there was intense activism aimed at achieving increased autonomy for women, broadening the spheres within which they lived their daily lives. Women’s organizations worked to establish opportunities for women: they strove to secure for women the full entitlements of citizenship, including the right to hold office and the right to serve on juries. [br] It can be inferred that the analyses of the author of the passage and the scholars mentioned in lines 20-23 differ with regard to which of the following?
选项
A、The criteria they use to evaluate the success of the feminist movement during the 1920s
B、Their interpretations of the "promises" of the suffragist movement
C、The suggestions they make for achieving feminist goals
D、Their definitions of what constitutes a legislat ve victory
E、Their estimations of the obstacles preventing women’s having achieved a voting bloc in the 1920s
答案
A
解析
The author of the passage mentions ways in which the new scholarship mentioned in the first paragraph sees the 1920s as a period of decline for the feminist movement. For example, these scholars suggest that after the mid-1920s, few successes could be claimed by feminist reformers: little could be seen in the way of legislative victories.
The author points out actual gains for women, for example, the establishment by women’s organizations of broader opportunities for women, striving to secure for women the full entitlements of citizenship, including the right to hold office and the right to serve on juries. The author thereby appears to counter these scholars’ suggestion that the 1920s was & period of decline by suggesting other criteria that can be used to evaluate the attainments of the 1920s feminist movement.
A Correct. As discussed above, the author applies different criteria from those attributed to the scholars mentioned in the second paragraph in evaluating the success of the feminist movement during the 1920s.
B The author presents these scholars’
discussion of these "promises" in the first paragraph; the author does not appear to disagree with the scholars’ assessment.
C The passage does not discuss any suggestions that these scholars have made about how to achieve feminist goals.
D The passage mentions legislative victories but offers no definition of the term.
E Nowhere does the passage discuss obstacles preventing the formation of a voting bloc in the 1920s.
The correct answer is A.
