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.
It can be inferred from the passage that recent scholars cite the words of Jane Addams primarily in order to
选项
A、suggest that women’s achievement of suffrage brought about changes in government that were not taken into account by early interpretations
B、point out contradictions inherent in the goals of the women’s suffrage movement
C、show why a women’s voting bloc was not formed when women won the right to vote
D、emphasize the place of social reform movements jn the struggle for suffrage for women
E、suggest that the old view of women’s suffrage was inappropriate
答案
E
解析
The scholars cite the words of Jane Addams to suggest that it is no more appropriate to ask whether women’s suffrage was a failure than to ask whether suffrage in general is a failure. The clear implication is that it is inappropriate to ask either question, presumably because suffrage has value in and of itself.
A The scholars do not dispute the claim that women’s suffrage failed to bring about significant changes in government. The point of Addams’s statement is that it is inappropriate to call women’s suffrage into question simply because it does not bring about all desired changes.
B The scholars suggest no inherent contradictions in the goals of the womens suffrage movement. Even if such a claim had been made, there is little relation between that claim and Jane Addams’s statement.
C The scholars accept the earlier interpretation’s assertion that a women’s voting bloc was not formed; however, the scholars offer no explanation as to why such a bloc was not formed.
D While it may be true that social reform movements played a significant role in the struggle for suffrage for women, this particular quotation does not convey that idea.
E Correct. The old view suggested that in many ways the women’s suffrage movement was a failure because it had failed to attain certain goals that had been associated with women’s suffrage. The scholars quote Addams to suggest that this view is inappropriate: women’s suffrage should no more be considered a failure for failing to reach all of its goals than suffrage in general should be considered a failure for failing to reach all of its goals.
The correct answer is E.
