1.        GWD-13-Q16 -Q19法国女裁缝行会引起男裁缝们不满 

      In 1675, Louis XIV

       established the Parisian

       seamstresses’ guild, the first

Line       independent all-female guild

  (5)      created in over 200 years.

Guild members could make

and sell women’s and chil-

dren’s clothing, but were

prohibited from producing

 (10)      men’s clothing or dresses

for court women.  Tailors

resented the ascension of

seamstresses to guild status;

seamstresses, meanwhile,

 (15)      were impatient with the

remaining restrictions on

their right to clothe women.现象

      The conflict between

the guilds was not purely

 (20)      economic, however.  A 1675

       police report indicated that

       since so many seamstresses

were already working illegally,

the tailors were unlikely to

 (25)      suffer additional economic

damage because of the

seamstresses’ incorporation.

Moreover, guild membership

held very different meanings

 (30)      for tailors and seamstresses.

To the tailors, their status as

guild members overlapped

       with their role as heads of

household, and entitled them

 (35)
                to employ as seamstresses

female family members who

did not marry outside the trade.

The seamstresses, however,

       viewed guild membership as

 (40)      a mark of independence from

the patriarchal family.  Their

guild was composed not of

family units but of individual

women who enjoyed unusual

 (45)      legal and economic privileges.导致冲突的双方不同观点

       At the conflict’s center was

the issue of whether tailors’

female relatives should be

identified as family members

 (50)      protected by the tailors’ guild

or as individuals under the

jurisdiction of the seam-

stresses’ guild.进一步解释冲突的本质
