原文第6-12行的这个句子~

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 gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century.
有些不明白as to在这里的用法是什么，是与前面的to redirect... as to whether平行吗？求大神指教，谢谢！！

最怕这种文章，对我来说太抽象
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 （concerning）whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as(when) compared with the eighteenth century
没理解错的话，应该是括号里的含义
