GWD27-Q 23 to Q 26:

When the history of women

began to receive focused attention

in the 1970’, Eleanor Roosevelt

Line was one of a handful of female

 (5) Americans who were well known

to both historians and the general

public. Despite the evidence that

she had been important in social-

reform circles before her husband

(10) was elected President and that

she continued to advocate differ-

ent causes than he did, she held

a place in the public imagination

largely because she was the wife

(15) of a particularly influential Presi-

dent. Her own activities were

seen as preparing the way for her

husband’s election or as a com-

plement to his programs. Even

(20) Joseph Lash’s two volumes of

Sympathetic biography, Eleanor and

Franklin (1971) and Eleanor: The

Years Alone (1972), reflected this

assumption.

(25)          Lash’s biography revealed a

Complicated woman who sought

Through political activity both to

flee inner misery and to promote

causes in which she passionately

(30) believed. However, she still

appeared to be an idiosyncratic

figure, somehow self-generated

not amenable to any generalized

explanation. She emerged from

(35) the biography as a mother to the

entire nation, or as a busybody.

but hardly as a social type, a

figure comprehensible in terms

of broader social developments.

(40)             But more recent work on the

feminism of the post-suffrage

years (following 1920) allows us

to see Roosevelt in a different

light and to bring her life into a

(45) more richly detailed context. Lois

Scharf’s Eleanor Roosevelt, written

In 1987, depicts a generation of

Privileged women, born in the late

Nineteenth century and maturing

(50) in the twentieth, who made the

transition from old patterns of

female association to new ones.

Their views and their lives were full

Of contradictions. They maintained

(55) female social networks but began

to integrate women into mainstream

politics; they demanded equal

treatment but also argued that

women’s maternal responsibilities

(60) made them both wards and repre-

sentatives of the public interest.

Thanks to Scharf and others,

Roosevelt’s activities—for exam-

ple, her support both for labor laws

(65) protecting women and for appoint-

ments of women to high public

office—have become intelligible in

terms of this social context rather

than as the idiosyncratic career of

a famous man’s wife.

Q 26:

The author cites which of the following as evidence

against the public view of Eleanor Roosevelt held

in the 1970’s?

 

A.    She had been born into a wealthy family.

B.     Her political career predated the adoption

of women’s suffrage.

C.     She continued her career in politics even

After her husband’s death.

D.    She was one of a few female historical

Figures who were well known to historians

By the 1970’s.

E.     Her activism predated her husband’s presi-

dency and her projects differed from his.

大家的view是，罗斯福夫人所做的一切都是为了给他的丈夫--罗斯福总统服务的

问题问文中有什么证据反驳这一观点

那就是在嫁给总统之前她已经开始了她自己的政治运动，而且她所从事的政治运动与总统不一样。

所以说，她不是为了总统丈夫而做这些的。

我认为选C，因为E只是在重复文章
Despite the evidence that she had been important in social-reform circles before her husband was elected President and that she continued to advocate different causes than he did
而且她这么做，大家都认为是因为preparing the way for her husband’s election or as a complement to his programs
因此只有C才能证明她不是为了总统丈夫而做这些事，进而against 当时的public view
