Although the industrial union organizations that emerged under the banner of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1930s and 1940s embraced the principles of nondiscrimination and inclusion, the role of women within unions reflected the prevailing gender ideology of the period.  Elizabeth Faue's study of the labor movement in Minneapolis argues that women were marginalized by union bureaucratization and by the separation of unions from the community politics from which industrial unionism had emerged.  Faue stresses the importance of women's contribution to the development of unions at the community level, contributions that made women's ultimate fate within the city's labor movement all the more poignant:  as unions reached the peak of their strength in the 1940s, the community base that had made their success possible and to which women's contributions were so vital became increasingly irrelevant to unions' institutional life.

 

In her study of CIO industrial unions from the 1930s to the 1970s, Nancy F. Gabin also acknowledges the pervasive male domination in the unions, but maintains that women workers were able to create a political space within some unions to advance their interests as women.  Gabin shows that, despite the unions' tendency to marginalize women's issues, working women's demands were a constant undercurrent within the union, and she stresses the links between the unions' women activists and the wave of feminism that emerged in the 1960s.

我这道题目也错了。
如果用排除法，只有可能是C正确，但是我不敢选因为我认为significant是褒义词，但是明显的作者对这个词的态度是负的。如果significant这里是表示程度大的意思，那么C就没有问题。
the role of women within unions reflected the prevailing gender ideology of the period
reflect - 表示the role of women within unions受到了gender ideology得影响。
prevailing - significant ???

我也刚做到了这题，也选错了。不过觉得C是正确的

文章说是the role of women within unions reflected the prevailing gender ideology of the period.说明文章中谈到的women的表现都或多或少受gender ideology的影响。因为gender ideology处于dominant的地位。而C选项谈到的内容but maintains that women workers were able to create a political space within some unions to advance their interests as women正是文章中谈到的. 所以C可以认为是正确的。

文章中说到women made significant contributions to the establishment of industrial unions.是gender ideology统领下自然发生的结果 也是A选项取非，所以A就错啦！！

文春三刀禾

我读了半天论坛里面的解释，终于明白了。
情况是这样的，其实逻辑很简单。

文章第一句说 尽管工会有nondiscrimination 和inclusion， 但是女性在工会中却体现了相反的一面，也就是gender ideology 。本来不应该有这样的性别论的观点， 但是那个时期这个观点却很流行。 因此， 这个gender ideology 阻碍了社会对待女性观点的发展。

这个解释也和C 选项差不多， significant 是明显的意思， 和very一样。
(A) It prevented women from making significant contributions to the establishment of industrial unions.  文章中讲的是对待工会的女性有偏见， 这个只是社会对于女性的态度不好， 和女性的工作没有关系。
(B) It resulted from the marginalization of women in industrial unions.这个谁是原因谁是结果的关系反了。 是社会对女性的偏见导致女性边缘化。
(D) Its primary tenets were nondiscrimination and inclusion. 其实gender ideology 是一个歧视女性的一个“罪名”，那么这个“罪名”的教义是“不歧视”， 不妥！
(E) Its effects were mitigated by the growth of industrial unions.  翻译成中文的话， gender ideology 被工业的发展减轻了。文中没有说到谁把谁减轻了吧。
