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.

选项
A、providing evidence indicating that feminist reformers of the 1920s failed to reach some of their goals
B、presenting scholarship that contrasts suffragist "promises" with the historical realities of the 1920s
C、discussing recent scholarship concerning the achievements of women’s suffrage during the 1920s and presenting an alternative view of those achievements
D、outlining recent findings concerning events leading to suffrage for women in the 1920s and presenting a challenge to those findings
E、providing support for a traditional view of the success of feminist attempts to increase gender consciousness among women during the 1920s
答案
C
解析
To understand the primary concern of the pas age requires a clear understanding of the passage as a whole. This passage discusses recent scholarship concerning the 1920s that challenges an earlier interpretation in which the women’s suffrage movement during the 1920s was considered a failure because it had not achieved long-term political goals. The scholars responsible for this earlier interpretation present the 1920s as a period of decline, and the passage presented here challenges this assessment.
A The passage is primarily concerned with discussing how recent scholarship challenged an earlier assessment of the women’s suffrage movement. The passage provides no specific evidence indicating that feminist reformers of the 1920s failed to reach their goals.
B Although the passage refers to the unkept "promises" of the women’s suffrage movement, the passage does not present scholarship that contrasts such a "promise" with the historical realities of the 1920s.
C Correct. The passage discusses recent
scholarship concerning the achievement; of women’s suffrage. In the final paragraph, the passage presents an alternative view of those achievements.
D The passage does not outline findings regarding what led to suffrage for women. The passage’s focus is on scholarship regarding what followed women gaining suffrage.
E The passage does not provide support for a traditional view of 1920s feminists’ success at increasing gender consciousness among women. In fact, the passage conflicts with the traditional view by suggesting that, during the 1920s, there existed intense activism aimed at increasing autonomy for women.
The correct answer is C.
