Two works published in 1984 demonstratecontrasting approaches to writing the history ofUnited States women. Buel and Buel’s biography ofMary Fish (1736–1818) makes little effort to placeher story in the context of recent historiography onwomen. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only towrite the history of women in one southerncommunity, but also to redirect two decades ofhistoriographical debate as to whether womengained or lost status in the nineteenth century ascompared with the eighteenth century. Althoughboth books offer the reader the opportunity toassess this controversy regarding women’s status,only Lebsock’s deals with it directly. She examinesseveral different aspects of women’s status, helpingto refi ne and resolve the issues. She concludes thatwhile women gained autonomy in some areas,especially in the private sphere, they lost it in manyaspects of the economic sphere. More importantly,she shows that the debate itself depends on frameof reference: in many respects, women lost powerin relation to men, for example, as certain jobs(delivering babies, supervising schools) were takenover by men. Yet women also gained power incomparison with their previous status, owning ahigher proportion of real estate, for example. Incontrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ampleraw material for questioning the myth, fostered bysome historians, of a colonial golden age in theeighteenth century but does not give the readermuch guidance in analyzing the controversy overwomen’s status.76. The primary purpose of the passage is to(A) examine two sides of a historiographical debate(B) call into question an author’s approach to ahistoriographical debate(C) examine one author’s approach to ahistoriographical debate(D) discuss two authors’ works in relationship to ahistoriographical debate(E) explain the prevalent perspective on ahistoriographical debate77. The author of the passage mentions the supervision ofschools primarily in order to(A) remind readers of the role education played inthe cultural changes of the nineteenth century inthe United States(B) suggest an area in which nineteenth-centuryAmerican women were relatively free to exercisepower(C) provide an example of an occupation for whichaccurate data about women’s participation arediffi cult to obtain(D) speculate about which occupations wereconsidered suitable for United States women ofthe nineteenth century(E) illustrate how the answers to questions aboutwomen’s status depend on particular contexts78. With which of the following characterizations ofLebsock’s contribution to the controversy concerningwomen’s status in the nineteenth-century UnitedStates would the author of the passage be most likelyto agree?(A) Lebsock has studied women from a formerlyneglected region and time period.(B) Lebsock has demonstrated the importance offrame of reference in answering questions aboutwomen’s status.(C) Lebsock has addressed the controversy byusing women’s current status as a frame ofreference.(D) Lebsock has analyzed statistics aboutoccupations and property that were previouslyignored.(E) Lebsock has applied recent historiographicalmethods to the biography of a nineteenthcenturywoman.79. According to the passage, Lebsock’s work differs fromBuel and Buel’s work in that Lebsock’s work(A) uses a large number of primary sources(B) ignores issues of women’s legal status(C) refuses to take a position on women’s status inthe eighteenth century(D) addresses larger historiographical issues(E) fails to provide suffi cient material to support itsclaims80. The passage suggests that Lebsock believes thatcompared to nineteenth-century American women,eighteenth-century American women were(A) in many respects less powerful in relation tomen(B) more likely to own real estate(C) generally more economically independent(D) more independent in conducting their privatelives(E) less likely to work as school superintendents81. The passage suggests that Buel and Buel’s biographyof Mary Fish provides evidence for which of thefollowing views of women’s history?(A) Women have lost power in relation to men sincethe colonial era.(B) Women of the colonial era were not as likely tobe concerned with their status as were womenin the nineteenth century.(C) The colonial era was not as favorable for womenas some historians have believed.(D) Women had more economic autonomy in thecolonial era than in the nineteenth century.(E) Women’s occupations were generally morerespected in the colonial era than in thenineteenth century |
