When the history of women began to receive focused attention in the 1970’, Eleanor Roosevelt was one of a handful of female Americans who were well known to both historians and the general public. Despite 26. the evidence that she had been important in social-reform circles before her husband was elected President and that she continued to advocate different causes than he did, she held a place in the public imagination largely because she was the wife of a particularly influential President. Her own activities were seen as preparing the way for her husband’s election or as a complement to his programs. Even Joseph Lash’s two volumes of sympathetic biography, Eleanor and Franklin (1971) and Eleanor: The Years Alone (1972), reflected this assumption.
Lash’s biography revealed a complicated woman who sought through political activity both to flee inner misery and to promote causes in which she passionately believed. However, she still appeared to be an idiosyncratic figure, somehow self-generated not amenable to any generalized explanation. She emerged from the biography as a mother to the entire nation, or as a busybody, but hardly as a social type, a figure comprehensible in terms of broader social developments.
But more recent work on the feminism of the post-suffrage years (following 1920) allows us to see Roosevelt in a different light and to bring her life into a more richly detailed context. Lois Scharf’s Eleanor Roosevelt, written in 1987, depicts a generation of privileged women, born in the late nineteenth century and maturing in the twentieth, who made the transition from old patterns of female association to new ones. Their views and their lives were full of contradictions. They maintained female social networks but began to integrate women into mainstream politics; they demanded equal treatment but also argued that women’s maternal responsibilities made them both wards and representatives of the public interest. Thanks to Scharf and others, Roosevelt’s activities—for example, her support both for labor laws protecting women and for appointments of women to high public office—have become intelligible in terms of this social context rather than as the idiosyncratic career of a famous man’s wife.
问题：
Q 25: Which of the following studies would proceed in a way most similar to the way in which, according to the passage. Scharf’s book interprets Eleanor Roosevelt’s career?
A.An exploration of the activities of a wealthy social reformer in terms of the ideals held by the reformer
B.A history of the leaders of a political party which explained how the conflicting aims of its individual leaders thwarted and diverted the activities of each leader
C.An account of the legislative career of a conservative senator which showed his goals to have been derived from a national conservative movement of which the senator was a part
D.A biography of a famous athlete which explained her high level of motivation in terms of the kind of family in which she grew up
E.A history of the individuals who led the movement to end slavery in the United States which attributed the movement’s success to the efforts of those exceptional individuals
正确答案是D，但是不是说把ER看做一种独立的社会形态，而不是依附于丈夫的妻子的角色吗？怎么会类似于把成功归结为家庭的运动员呢？作者: KKaaay 时间: 2019-5-16 12:13
我这题错选了C 请问有热心NN可以赐教么 TAT
我选了C的原因是C的描述感觉更贴近 in terms of broader social developments，当然后来有看到D的athlete是女的，而C的senator是男的，然则就真的是据此而排除了C而选D吗？
