Both Mercy Warren and Abigail Adams admired Catherine Macaulay; the radical author of A History of England, who supported the cause of the American patriots. Under Macaulay’s influence Mercy Warren conceived her plan ’to write a history of the American Revolution, living to complete it in 1805. Abigail Adams rejected literary ambitions for her- self and never lost her sense of inferiority about her poor spelling and ignorance of Latin. Yet her letters, rather than Warren’s plays and verse, have become the greater source in documenting signs of a dawning feminist consciousness.
Abigail Adams welcomed every advance for women and foresaw more than could be realized in her lie time. She urged her husband, the second President of United States, to "remember the ladies in the new code of laws, and to give married women protection from tyrannical husbands. As she pointed out, the terrible deficiencies in education for women were felt at all levels, she finally made the significant request to her husband, that the new constitution "be distinguished from Learning and Virtue, " and suggested that "if we mean to have Heroes, Statesmen and Philosophers, we should have learned women. "This awareness of education’s value, rooted in the Enlightenment faith in human potentiality, had feminist implications before there was a feminist idol.
A younger contemporary of similar background gave the reading public an explicit feminist argument for the education of women. The views of Judith Sargeant Murray (1775— 1820)reflected both personal and family experience. Murray’s Gleaner essays published in the 1790’s transcended the boundaries of her world in recognizing the need for training women to earn their own living. Although, like Mercy Warren and Abigail Adams, she was brought up with the values of gentility, she knew through personal hardship that even women of her class might be forced to be self-supporting; education could provide independence for women in need, whether they were unmarried women or widows or wives.
The main topic of the passage is ______.
选项
A、Abigail Adams life
B、women historians
C、3early sources of feminist thinking
D、literary ambitions of Judith Sargeant Murray
答案

解析
本题为主旨题,就本文的中心思想提问。本文谈到了三位女权主义者,她们都为男女平等做出了自己的贡献,她们有的著书立说,有的劝诫自己的丈夫重视男女平等,而且都认为妇女应受到良好教育,以获得独立。当然本文并不是其中某一个人的情况,她们三人也不是妇女历史学家,所以本文是关于feminist thinking 的。
