OG12-15


Line       Two works published in 1984 demonstrate
contrasting approaches to writing the history of
United States women. Buel and Buel's biography of
Mary Fish (1736-1818) makes little effort to place
(5)her story in the context of recent historiography on
women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to
write the history of women in one southern
community, but also to redirect two decades of
historiographical debate as to whether women
(10)gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as
compared with the eighteenth century. Although
both books offer the reader the opportunity to
assess this controversy regarding women's status,
only Lebsock's deals with it directly. She examines
(15)several different aspects of women's status, helping
to refine and resolve the issues. She concludes that
while women gained autonomy in some areas,
especially in the private sphere, they lost it in many
aspects of the economic sphere. More importantly,
(20)she shows that the debate itself depends on frame
of reference: in many respects, women lost power
in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs
(delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken
over by men. Yet women also gained power in
(25)comparison with their previous status, owning a
higher proportion of real estate, for example. In
contrast, Buel and Buel's biography provides ample
raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by
some historians, of a colonial golden age in the
(30)eighteenth century but does not give the reader
much guidance in analyzing the controversy over
women's status.

饭饭，我不太赞同你说得。我觉得
"whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century" = the recent historiographical (HG) debate


原文说BB没有涉及这个HG debate，但L涉及到了。


这题定位在最后一句话的前半句：
"BB provides ... for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the 18c"


"myth" is legend - something not necessarily true
this myth is hold by some historians
here it's "the myth of a colonial golden age in the 18c", meaning that: according to the myth, 18c (colonial era) is a good time (golden) for women


Therefore, choice (C): The colonial era was not as favorable for women as some historians have believed.

15阅读中---＞question the myth ，那个myth到底指啥呀？读两遍了还是没明白。-- by 会员 sunny20111126 (2012/3/26 20:39:15)

我觉得此处myth指代：“whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as
compared with the eighteenth century. ”（此处引用原文，是从句部分，希望同学能够理解）。更进一步理解，觉得myth含义可以具体到：Women gained status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century. 个人认为主要是对该历史观点的部分驳斥。

另外，前面的"in contrast" 主要是对两方研究人员的研究方法上的不同。

这个不是那么固定吧。有的在第一句，也可能在第一段的中间、最后等等。
