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.

26.Which of the following can be inferred regarding the "gender ideology" mentioned in the highlighted text?

(A) It prevented women from making significant contributions to the establishment of industrial unions.
(B) It resulted from the marginalization of women in industrial unions.
(C) It had a significant effect on the advancement of women's issues within industrial unions.
(D) Its primary tenets were nondiscrimination and inclusion.
(E) Its effects were mitigated by the growth of industrial unions.

求问26题不知道什么推论推出来C是正确的，整篇文章不是都说gender意识形态下那个女人的地位或者说作用被边缘化了，或者说是不受重视。我一开始就排除了EC，A由于是说女人对工会组织的建立，这个原文没有说过，去掉。剩下了D和B，而B根本那个女人边缘化是造就gender意识形态的原因，这个胡扯，根本没有，去掉，剩下了D。。不知道为什么我一开始就排除了C。。觉得它跟整篇文章的基调不一样啊～～亲门，为啥呢。。

这题纠结半天发现，其实原文里那句“ the role of women within unions reflected the prevailing gender ideology of the period”就有说明，只是需要和后面两段结合起来。
role of women within unions 反应了这种ideology，而role of women就是后文提到的被边缘化issue，所以说ideology对于这些问题是有影响的这种说法其实是合理的。
