They have been writers and actors, entertainers and creators. They have won Academy Awards and received critical acclaim. They have graced the covers of magazines.
In the arts and entertainment world, women have made a myriad of contributions to what we know as popular culture. Although many female celebrities may be known more for their figures than their talents, women remain more than just pretty faces. Women’s History Month promises to take a look back at the influential female lives and legacies that have shaped our society.
In the last century alone, a number of famous females have made their artistic marks. In the literary world, women such as Sylvia Plath and Colette composed celebrated works, establishing themselves as creative writers to be reckoned with. Colette, a prolific French novelist, tackled weighty themes such as the woman’s struggle for independence. Her catalog of works includes celebrated novels such as Cheri and The Pure and the Impure. Plath, renowned for her suicide as much as for her writing, wrote The Bell Jar as well as a wealth of poetry.
Within the realm of fashion, influential designers such as Coco Chanel changed the face of female dressing. The Chanel name has become synonymous with high style. Coco invented the little black dress, perfected a trademark scent — Chanel No. 5 — and became famous for her tweed suits and quilted handbags.
Hollywood starlets such as Katharine Hepburn transformed the film world. She was known for her portrayal of strong, spirited females in her films, clearly embodying what it means to be an independent woman. As Hepburn once said, "I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex."
The music industry has also seen its share of barrier-breaking female stars. Women such as Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald endure as revered names within the jazz world. Similarly, Joan Baez took the folk music genre by storm. She was one of the most outspoken performers during the social turmoil of the 1960s, establishing herself not only as an acclaimed singer/songwriter but also as an activist for civil rights and nonviolence.
Undeniably, women have contributed to our culture in immeasurable ways. From the silver screen to the record-store shelves, the most talented stars exhibit a wealth of creativity, a fan winning charisma and a unique dedication to their respective crafts — and many of them also happen to be female.
What can be inferred about Joan Baez from Paragraph 6?
选项
A、She was famous for outspoken performance on the stage.
B、She was well-known for her talent of singing and writing all types of music.
C、Her music usually took the themes of civil rights and nonviolence.
D、She voiced her opinions on the major social issues.
答案
D
解析
推断题。文章第六段最后一句话说到Joan Baez,在二十世纪六十年代的社会混乱期,她是最坦率直言的活动分子之一,不仅使自己成了受欢迎的歌手和作曲者,而且还成为民权和非暴力的激进主义分子,由此可知D为正确选项。
