    Recent feminist scholarship con-

          cerning the United States in the 1920’s

          challenges earlier interpretations that

Line   assessed the twenties in terms of the

  (5)   unkept “promises” of the women’s

suffrage movement.  This new scholar-

ship disputes the long-held view that

because a women’s voting bloc did not

materialize after women gained the right

 (10)  to vote in 1920, suffrage failed to

produce long-term political gains for

women.  These feminist scholars also

challenge the old view that pronounced

suffrage a failure for not delivering on

 (15)  the promise that the women’s vote

would bring about moral, corruption-

free governance.  Asked whether

women’s suffrage was a failure, these

scholars cite the words of turn-of-the-

 (20)  century social reformer Jane Addams,

         “Why don’t you ask if suffrage in

         general is failing?”

      In some ways, however, these

scholars still present the 1920’s as a

 (25)  period of decline.  After suffrage, they

argue, the feminist movement lost its

cohesiveness, and gender conscious-

ness waned.  After the mid-1920’s, few

successes could be claimed by fem-

 (30)  inist reformers: little could be seen in

the way of legislative victories.

      During this decade, however, there

          was intense activism aimed at achiev-

ing increased autonomy for women,

 (35) broadening the spheres within which

they lived their daily lives.  Women’s

organizations worked to establish

opportunities for women: they strove to

         secure for women the full entitlements

 (40) of citizenship, including the right to hold
           office and the right to serve on juries.

原句就是E吧。This new scholarship disputes the long-held view that because a women’s voting bloc did not materialize after women gained the right   to vote in 1920, suffrage failed to produce long-term political gains for women.

这种新的知识对那些老的观念提出挑战---老的观念认为：因为1920年以后妇女获得的投票权利并没有被制度化，因此该种权利的获得并不能给妇女带来一个长期的真正的政治权利的获得。
