Essay #8.  219  (22388-!-item-!-188;#058&00219-00)

Although the industrial union organizations that emerged under the banner of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1930s and 1940s embraced the principles of nondiscrimination and inclusion, the role of women within unions reflected the prevailing
   gender ideology of the period.  Elizabeth Faue's study of the labor movement in Minneapolis argues that women were marginalized by union bureaucratization and by the separation of unions from the community politics from which industrial unionism had emerged.  Faue stresses the importance of women's contribution to the development of unions at the community level, contributions that made women's ultimate fate within the city's labor movement all the more poignant:  as unions reached the peak of their strength in the 1940s, the community base that had made their success possible and to which women's contributions were so vital became increasingly irrelevant to unions' institutional life.

In her study of CIO industrial unions from the 1930s to the 1970s, Nancy F. Gabin also acknowledges the pervasive male domination in the unions, but maintains that women workers were able to create a political space within some unions to advance their interests as women.  Gabin shows that, despite the unions' tendency to marginalize women's issues, working women's demands were a constant undercurrent within the union, and she stresses the links between the unions' women activists and the wave of feminism that emerged in the 1960s.

说说我的理解，文中第一句讲“尽管工业组织包含了nondiscrimination and inclusion的原则，但是妇女在组织中的角色仍然反映了这一时期的gender ideology 。该句是个转折句，根据句意推理，gender ideology 应该指discrimination和exclusion,而正是这种gender ideology 才导致下文所讲的women were marginalized by union bureaucratization and by the separation of unions from the community politics from which industrial unionism had emerged.

因此，(C) It had a significant effect on the advancement of women's issues within industrial unions.正确

请问是怎么看出“而正是这种gender ideology 才导致下文所讲的women were marginalized by union bureaucratization and by the separation of unions from the community politics from which industrial unionism had emerged.”？？

夜凉如水

本来选择D 看了解释明白了D为什么不对 但是C对的原因还不是很明白

哎 看不出这个advancement从何而来 A为啥不对啊

原文后面说了women made了significant contributions的啊，所以A不对吧～～

其实如果仔细看看C选项，它就是"the role of women within unions reflected the prevailing gender ideology"的改写。

"advancement of women's issues"就是指的是"nondiscrimination and inclusion"。women以前被discriminated and excluded，现在不了，这自然就是一种advancement啦～
