Essay #5.  118   (21825-!-item-!-188;#058&00118-00)

    

 

    

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.

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.

你看到这句话了吗？这是两派学者的达成的最后一个共识：注意动词surbordinating，他们认为：将妇女的解放作为一个更为重要的目标的组成部分：将整个俄罗斯民族从政治压迫，经济衰条以及社会不公中解放出来。

如果你知道surbordinate的意思，就不难对应选项B中的take precedence over。
