cristam

因为大概搜了一下，貌似没有人说过这个问题。我来阐述一下我的不同意见。

我认为答案是C，文中有直接阐述。而且，是aLthough的形式。这是gmat的常见考点。
至于答案对于A的解释，我认为”答案“是牵强附会了。
因为：
individualist feminist 观点都是在个人层面，包含了gender，
"Socialist" feminists 观点都是在社会层面，rather than “gender”，这里是对前者的不同意见。接着说， socialist revolution, not “legal reform”，这里 not “legal reform” 不能理解为是individualist feminist 的观点，
理由1：他们根本没有提及，因为这就不在他们的观点范畴，“法律”属于社会层面，非个人层面；既然如此，就无从说这个就是他们的观点，这里就根本不存在两者的比较。
理由2：not “legal reform” 理解为对于socialist revolution的补充解释，起到强调的作用。

-----------------------以下为原文------------------------------
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.


question 16:
According to the passage, Russian socialists within the women's movement and most bourgeois feminists disagreed about which of the following?
(A)        Whether legal reform was central to the achievement of feminist goals
(B)        Whether paid employment was important for the achievement of equality
(C)        Whether maternity insurance was desirable for working mothers
(D)        Whether working mothers faced obstacles
(E)        Whether women's emancipation should be subordinated to the liberation of the Russian population

这个题目答案定位在第一段，这回问的是不同意的点。但是要想排除所有选项，必须也要注意第二段。注意，并不是第二段没有提到的都是不同的点，有些点可能两者都不同意。
选项分析：
(A)        Correct。法律的改革是否是达成女权主义者的目标的核心。定位在这两句句话上“"Bourgeois" feminism, so called by its more radical opponents, emphasized "individualist" feminist goals such as access to education, career opportunities, and legal equality.” 和 “as the principal source of women's inequality and oppression, and socialist revolution, not legal reform, as the only road to emancipation and equality.”其后一句也突出了“not legal reform”，也说明了前一种女权主义者是认为需要“legal reform”的。
(B)        有薪雇佣在达成平等这个问题上是否很重要。这个选项定位在“Both regarded paid labor as the principal means by which women might attain emancipation”。几乎是原句的另一种说法。
(C)        生育保险是否是工作的母亲所需要的。定位在这里“most participants advocated maternity insurance and paid maternity leave”和这里“Both groups also recognized the enormous difficulties women faced when they combined paid labor with motherhood”。两句话合起来看就是这个选项了。说明这个选项是两者的共同点。
(D)        工作的母亲是否面临障碍。定位“Both groups also recognized the enormous difficulties women faced when they combined paid labor with motherhood”。“enormous difficulties”等于“obstacles”。说明这个选项是两者的共同点。
(E)        女性的解放是否要放在全部苏联人解放的后面。文中的最后一句话。说明两者都同意女性的解放要次于全苏联的解放。
