In 1955 Maurice Duverger published The
Political Role of Women, the ?rst behavioralist,
multinational comparison of women’s electoral
participation ever to use election data and survey
data together. His study analyzed women’s patterns
of voting, political candidacy, and political activism
in four European countries during the ?rst half of
the twentieth century. Duverger’s research ?ndings
were that women voted somewhat less frequently
than men (the difference narrowing the longer
women had the vote) and were slightly more
conservative.
 Duverger’s work set an early standard for the
sensitive analysis of women’s electoral activities.
Moreover, to Duverger’s credit, he placed his
?ndings in the context of many of the historical
processes that had shaped these activities.
However, since these contexts have changed
over time, Duverger’s approach has proved more
durable than his actual ?ndings. In addition,
Duverger’s discussion of his ?ndings was hampered
by his failure to consider certain speci?c factors
important to women’s electoral participation
at the time he collected his data: the in?uence
of political regimes, the effects of economic
factors, and the rami?cations of political and
social relations between women and men. Given
this failure, Duverger’s study foreshadowed the
enduring limitations of the behavioralist approach
to the multinational study of women’s political
participation

等同于：the difference is narrowing when the longer women had the vote，即正文中所说的男女差异随着妇女投票经历的增加而变得越来越小。

回看那道题，E应该是对应这句话的。
