关于态度词的问题，以OG12第15篇文章为例

kingapple25

我在阅读的时候能留意到态度词，但是有时候不知道这个到底是作者的态度呢，还是文中主人公的态度，比如说下面这篇文章：大家看红色部分---这个more importantly说的是作者认为Lebsock用frame of reference这种研究方法是重要的呢,还是说Lebsock认为frame of reference本身是重要的---我看文章的时候觉得应该是前者，但是78题的选项B说的好像是后者，而B恰好又是正确答案。暂时先举这个例子，大家帮帮忙，谢谢了~

Two works published in 1984 demonstrate contrasting approaches to writing the history of United States women. Buel and Buel’s biography of Mary Fish (1736–1818) makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one southern community, but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century. Although both books offer the reader the opportunity to assess this controversy regarding women’s status, only Lebsock’s deals with it directly. She examines several different aspects of women’s status, helping to re?ne and resolve the issues. She concludes that while women gained autonomy in some areas, especially in the private sphere, they lost it in many aspects of the economic sphere. More importantly, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference: in many respects, women lost power
in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men. Yet women also gained power in comparison with their previous status, owning a higher proportion of real estate, for example. In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status.

Lebsock has demonstrated the importance of frame of reference in answering questions about women’s status.

78问的是作者所认可的Lebsock的贡献。

这一段是在评论两本书，作者更认可Lebsock的书，讲了认可的两点。More importantly后是第二点。所以，我觉得More importantly表述的是作者的态度。与Lebsock自己怎么说怎么看无关。

同问这篇文章，“frame of reference”是什么意思，不理解那一句话

77. The author of the passage mentions the supervision of

the United States
(B) suggest an area in which nineteenth-century
American women were relatively free to exercise
power
(C) provide an example of an occupation for which
