Essay #5. 118 (21825-!-item-!-188;#058&00118-00)
Historians have identified two dominant currents in the Russian women's movement of the late tsarist period. "Bourgeois" feminism, so called by its more radical opponents, emphasized "individualist" feminist goals such as access to education, career opportunities, and legal equality. "Socialist" feminists, by contrast, emphasized class, rather than gender, as the principal source of women's inequality and oppression, and socialist revolution, not legal reform, as the only road to emancipation and equality.
However, despite antagonism between bourgeois feminists and socialist feminists, the two movements shared certain underlying beliefs. Both regarded paid labor as the principal means by which women might attain emancipation: participation in the workplace and economic self-sufficiency, they believed, would make women socially useful and therefore deserving of equality with men. Both groups also recognized the enormous difficulties women faced when they combined paid labor with motherhood. In fact, at the First All-Russian Women's Congress in 1908, most participants advocated maternity insurance and paid maternity leave, although the intense hostility between some socialists and bourgeois feminists at the Congress made it difficult for them to recognize these areas of agreement. Finally, socialist feminists and most bourgeois feminists concurred in subordinating women's emancipation to what they considered the more important goal of liberating the entire Russian population from political oppression, economic backwardness, and social injustice.
Question #16. 118-06 (21963-!-item-!-188;#058&000118-06)
According to the passage, Russian socialists within the women's movement and most bourgeois feminists disagreed about which of the following?
(A) Whether legal reform was central to the achievement of feminist goals
(B) Whether paid employment was important for the achievement of equality
(C) Whether maternity insurance was desirable for working mothers
(D) Whether working mothers faced obstacles
(E) Whether women's emancipation should be subordinated to the liberation of the Russian population
正确选A 我选C 这个A是从文章第一段总结出来的吗？ "Bourgeois" feminism要legal equality.而"Socialist" feminists认为legal reform不是达到equality的方法。
可文章第二段不是也说这两派因为要不要maternity insurance and paid leave而发生争执，这不就是disagreements吗？
可前一句为什么又说Both groups also recognized the enormous difficulties women faced when they combined paid labor with motherhood. ？
实在不懂，望战友指教。
谢谢你给的链接，看了知道有legal equality和not legal reform决定答案，但不知道为使么第二段已开始说socialists 和中产阶级已开始同意maternity insurance 和paid maternity leave,为使么开会时又产生分歧呢？
还是我理解文章有误？
望不胜指教，感激中。。。
