楼主帮忙看下 是不是这两篇考古中的哪篇??
Recent feminist scholarship con- cerning the United States in the 1920’s challenges earlier interpretations that Line assessed the twenties in terms of the (5) unkept “promises” of the women’s suffrage movement. This new scholar- ship disputes the long-held view that because a women’s voting bloc did not materialize after women gained the right (10) 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 (15) 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- (20) century social reformer Jane Addams, “Why don’t you ask if suffrage in general is failing?”学者的观点认为suffrage是失败 In some ways, however, these递进 scholars still present the 1920’s as a (25) period of decline. After suffrage, they argue, the feminist movement lost its cohesiveness, and gender conscious- ness waned. After the mid-1920’s, few successes could be claimed by fem- (30) inist reformers: little could be seen in the way of legislative victories. 衰退的年代 new scholarship的另一观点 During this decade, however, there was intense activism aimed at achiev- ing increased autonomy for women, (35) 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 (40) of citizenship, including the right to hold office and the right to serve on juries.最终观点 不同意recent的观点 老新观点 逻辑简图: 1P: recent scholarship challenges earlier interpretations unkept “promise” of women suffrage. Disputes, also challenges older view… 2P: in some ways, however, decline…. 3P: during this decade, however, intense activism…. Women’ organization worked to establish opportunities for women… Prep The identification of femininity with morality and a belief in the innate moral superiority of women were fundamental to the cult of female domesticity in the nineteenth-century United States. Ironically, this ideology of female benevolence empowered women in the realm of social activism, enabling them to escape the confines of their traditional domestic spheres and to enter prisons, hospitals, battlefields, and slums. By following this path, some women came to wield considerable authority in the distribution of resources and services in their communities.
The sentimentalized concept of female benevolence bore little resemblance to women's actual work, which was decidedly unsentimental and businesslike, in that it involved chartering societies, raising money, and paying salaries. Moreover, in the face of legal limitations on their right to control money and property, women had to find ingenious legal ways to run and finance organized philanthropy. In contrast to the day-to-day reality of this work, the idealized image of female benevolence lent a sentimental and gracious aura of altruism to the very real authority and privilege that some women commanded--which explains why some women activists clung tenaciously to this ideology. But clinging to this ideology also prevented these women from even attempting to gain true political power because it implied a moral purity that precluded participation in the messy world of partisan politics. |
