具体文章如下 Two modes of argumentation have been used on behalf of women's emancipation in Western societies．Arguments in what could be called the＂relational＂feminist tradition maintain the doctrine of＂equality in difference＂or equity as distinct from equality．They posit that biological distinctions between the sexes result in a necessary sexual division of labor in the family and throughout society and that women's pro-creative labor is currently undervalued by society, to the disadvantage of women．By contrast, the individualist feminist tradition emphasizes individual human rights and celebrates women's quest for personal autonomy, while downplaying the importance of gender roles and minimizing discussion of childbearing and its attendant responsibilities． Before the late nineteenth century, these views coexisted within the feminist movement, often within the writings of the same individual．Between 1890 and 1920，however, relational feminism，which had been the dominant strain in feminist thought, and which still predominates among European and non Western feminists，lost ground in England and the United States．Because the concept of individual rights was already well established in the Anglo-Saxon legal and political tradition，individualist feminism came to predominate in English-speaking countries．At the same time，the goals of the two approaches began to seem increasingly irreconcilable．Individualist feminists began to advocate a totally gender-blind system with equal rights for a11．Relational feminists, while agreeing that equal educational and economic opportunities outside the home should be available for a11 women，continued to emphasize women's special contributions to society as homemakers and mothers；they demanded special treatment for women，including protective legislation for women workers，state-sponsored maternity benefits, and paid compensation for housework． Relational arguments have a major pitfall：because they underline women's physiological and psychological distinctiveness, they are often appropriated by political adversaries and used to endorse male privilege．But the individualist approach，by attacking gender roles，denying the significance of physiological difference，and condemning existing familial institutions as hopelessly patriarchal，has often simply treated as irrelevant the family roles important to many women．If the individualist framework, with its claim for women's autonomy, could be harmonized with the family-oriented concerns of relational feminists, a more fruitful model for contemporary feminist politics could emerge． 82． According to the author, which of the following was true of feminist thought in Western societies before 1890? (A)Individualist feminist arguments were not found in the thought or writing of non-English-speaking feminists. (B)Individualist feminism was a strain in feminist thought, but another strain，relational feminism，predominated． (C)Relational and individualist approaches were equally prevalent in feminist thought and writing. (D)The predominant view among feminists held that the welfare of women was ultimately less important than the welfare of children． (E)The predominant view among feminists held that the sexes should receive equal treatment under the law． 因为question 问的是before 1890, 那么找到文章中涉及到的两个时间节点即before the late 19th centery 和 between 1890-1920,于是我判断应该是before the late 19th centery这句话讲的内容，所以我选择C。 可是答案给的是B。 可是QUESTION明明问的是BEFORE 1890 啊，如果是B选项，那应该问BETWEEN 1890-1920， 是QUESTION错了还是答案错了，还是我没有弄明白题？ 各位XDJM，来分析下哈
