Current feminist theory, in validating women's own stories of their experience, has encouraged scholars of women's history to view the use of women's oral narratives as the methodology, next to the use of women's written autobiography, that brings historians closest to the "reality" of women's lives. Such narratives, unlike most standard histories, represent experience from the perspective of women, affirm the importance of women's contributions, and furnish present-day women with historical continuity that is essential to their identity, individually and collectively. Scholars of women's history should, however, be as cautious about accepting oral narratives at face value as they already are about written memories. Oral narratives are no more likely than are written narratives to provide a disinterested commentary on events or people. Moreover, the stories people tell to explain themselves are shaped by narrative devices and storytelling conventions, as well as by other cultural and historical factors, in ways that the storytellers may be unaware of. The political rhetoric of a particular era, for example, may influence women's interpretations of the significance of their experience. Thus a woman who views the Second World War as pivotal in increasing the social acceptance of women's paid work outside the home may reach that conclusion partly and unwittingly because of wartime rhetoric encouraging a positive view of women's participation in such work.
35. According to the passage, scholars of women's history should refrain from doing which of the following?
A. Relying on traditional historical sources when women's oral narratives are unavailable
B. Focusing on the influence of political rhetoric on women's perceptions to the exclusion of other equally important factors
C. Attempting to discover the cultural and historical factors that influence the stories women tell
D. Assuming that the conventions of women's written autobiographies are similar to the conventions of women's oral narratives
E. Accepting women's oral narratives less critically than they accept women's written histories
答案是E，我也选了E，觉得E是文章更主要提到的。
但不懂为什么B错了，我理解的B意思是专注于女性看法受到的政治修辞影响，而不注重、忽略其他同等重要的影响因素。这不是应该避免的吗？
