Historians have identified two dominant currents in the Russian women's movement of the late tsarist period.  "Bourgeois" feminism, so called by its more radical opponents, emphasized "individualist" feminist goals such as access to education, career opportunities, and legal equality.  "Socialist" feminists, by contrast, emphasized class, rather than gender, as the principal source of women's inequality and oppression, and socialist revolution, not legal reform, as the only road to emancipation and equality.

 

However, despite antagonism between bourgeois feminists and socialist feminists, the two movements shared certain underlying beliefs.  Both regarded paid labor as the principal means by which women might attain emancipation:  participation in the workplace and economic self-sufficiency, they believed, would make women socially useful and therefore deserving of equality with men.  Both groups also recognized the enormous difficulties women faced when they combined paid labor with motherhood.  In fact, at the First All-Russian Women's Congress in 1908, most participants advocated maternity insurance and paid maternity leave, although the intense hostility between some socialists and bourgeois feminists at the Congress made it difficult for them to recognize these areas of agreement.  Finally, socialist feminists and most bourgeois feminists concurred in subordinating women's emancipation to what they considered the more important goal of liberating the entire Russian population from political oppression, economic backwardness, and social injustice.

Finally, socialist feminists and most bourgeois feminists concurred in subordinating women's emancipation to what they considered the more important goal of liberating the entire Russian population from political oppression, economic backwardness, and social injustice.

我觉得就是从这句话里推出。

前面提到made it difficult for them to recognize these areas of agreement. 所以最后socialist feminists and most bourgeois feminists达成一致，决定women's emancipation 降级为 更重要的目标就是把全俄罗斯人们从political oppression, economic backwardness, and social injustice. 解放出来。

这是我的理解 不知正确否。

我的理解是，她们认为  liberating the entire Russian population from political oppression, economic backwardness, and social injustice

比women's right more important

B

The critical implication is "subordinate women movements to more important goal of liberating Russian people from political oppresion"

subordinate to precisely reveals that they prefered political movement to women movements.

That's what B means by P takes precedence over W.
