Linda Kerber argued in the mid-

1980’s that after the American Revolution

(1775-1783), an ideology of “republican

Line motherhood” resulted in a surge of edu-

(5)cational opportunities for women in the

 United States. Kerber maintained that

 the leaders of the new nation wanted

 women to be educated in order to raise

 oolitically virtuous sons. A virtuous citi-

(10)zenry was considered essential to the

success of the country’s republican form

of government; virtue was to be instilled

not only by churches and schools, but

by families, where the mother’s role

(15) was crucial. Thus, according to Kerber,

motherhood became pivotal to the fate

of the republic, providing justification for

an unprecedented attention to female

education.

(20)   Introduction of the republican moth-

historiography. Prior to Kerber’s work,

women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929

newspaper advertisements for acade-

mies. Woody found that educational

opportunities increased for both girls

and boys around 1750. pointing to “An

(30) Essay on Woman” (1753) as reflecting

a shirt in view. Woody also claimed that

practical education for females had

many advocates before the Revolution,

Woody’s evidence challenges the notion

(35) that the Revgolution changed attiludes

regarding female education, although it

may have accelerated earlier trends.

看一下红色的吧，刚建国，当然是new form of government.
unprecedented demand 和 unprecedented attention是完全两个概念。unprecedented demand是发自与women, 而unprecedented attention 是发自于整个社会。

其实结合上下文，答案很明显的。
