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.

According to the passage, Faue's study and Gabin's study agree in that both
(A) attribute the inclusion of women in unions to the policies of the CIO

(B) emphasize the importance of unions at the community level

(C) argue that women played important roles in the establishment of industrial union organizations

(D) suggest that women in industrial union organizations played a subordinate role

(E) suggest that the interests of women workers were incompatible with those of unions in general


Which of the following can be inferred regarding the "gender ideology" mentioned in the highlighted text?

(A) It prevented women from making significant contributions to the establishment of industrial unions.

(B) It resulted from the marginalization of women in industrial unions.

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

(D) Its primary tenets were nondiscrimination and inclusion.

(E) Its effects were mitigated by the growth of industrial unions.

这两题全选错了。而且仔细又看了看文章，还是不太理解这两题为何这么选。
首先第一题，我理解的文章中关于女性的说法是，两位研究人员都同意，女性在这个union中被边缘化，也就是她们在union中的力量被以男性主导的一种普遍观念所削弱。但是正确选项D是说女性扮演了一个subordinate role我的理解，subordinate role指的是她们扮演的角色并不那么重要，跟play an important role正好相反的意思，是从“重要性”的角度出发的。好像文中有提到女性的角色重要而不是不重要。所以我选了C，虽然C的establishment好像有问题，并没有提到女性的重要性在“建立”上。
如果这个play subordinate role是另外一个意思，即，女性被边缘化，这里的role指的是地位，力量，而非重要性的话，从地位，力量的角度去说，倒是说得通。即女性由于被边缘化，他们的力量和地位在union中被削弱，所以他们play subordinate role。还是说我压根没搞懂这篇文章到底在讲什么？对整个文章把握有问题？
我反正看这个play xxx role的句式，以前接触到的，全是从重要性的角度出发的。重要的角色，不重要的角色，从未看到过有地位，力量方面出发的使用。

第二题，文中第一句就用到了although的让步，我的理解是，尽管这个组织倡导无歧视，一视同仁对待女性，但是实际上女性的角色（女性的重要性OR女性的地位？这里似乎应该被认为是地位，力量，而非重要性吧）反应了这个所谓的“gender idealogy“，然后后面立马讲XXX说：女性被边缘化了，由于XXX.......
那么我觉得这个gender idealogy 性别的意识形态，应该就是男人歧视或者边缘化女性的这么一种意识形态，说它resulted from the marginaliztion of women in industrial unions的问题在哪里呢？即B选项。是否是，该意识形态，导致了边缘化，而非resulted from边缘化？逻辑颠倒。

而正确选项C选项说，对于女性在union中的发展，有重大影响。对应的文章原文在哪里呢？是否是 but maintains that women workers were able to create a political space within some unions to advance their interests as women？我对这句的理解是，虽然女性被边缘化，但是她们仍然能够创造一个政治空间去发展自己作为女性的利益。这句的逻辑关系似乎并不是，gender idealogy导致，或者说影响了女性去创造一个政治空间.......，而是，在这种不利的gender idealogy下，女性仍然能够创造........。
能否指明一下到底哪里在说，这个意识形态能够影响到女性的发展。

还有如果有时间的话，能否帮忙翻译下这篇文章，或者说把大意说一下，实在没读太明白。。。万分感谢。

我也错了，后来我想明白了。先来说说文章想表达的意思吧。

工会信奉无歧视，但是女人的地位折射出相反的意 ...

感谢！！
