GWD7-Q10to Q12:

      Linda Kerber argued in the mid-1980’s thatafter the American Revolution (1775-1783), an ideology of “republican motherhood”resulted in a surge of educational opportunities for women in the United States.  Kerber maintained that the leaders of the newnation wanted women to be educated in order to raise politically virtuoussons.  A virtuous citizenry wasconsidered essential to the success of the country’s republican form ofgovernment; virtue was to be instilled not only by churches and schools, but byfamilies, where the mother’s role was crucial. Thus, according to Kerber, motherhood became pivotal to the fate of therepublic, providing justification for an unprecedented attention to female education.

      Introduction of the republican motherhoodthesis dramatically changed historiography. Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned womenand girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception.  Examining newspaper advertisements for academies,Woody found that educational opportunities increased for both girls and boysaround 1750.  Pointing to “An Essay onWoman” (1753) as reflecting a shift in view, Woody also claimed that practicaleducation for females had many advocates before the Revolution. Woody’sevidence challenges the notion that the Revolution changed attitudes regardingfemale education, although it may have accelerated earlier trends. Historians’reliance on Kerber’s “republican motherhood” thesis may have obscured thepresence of these trends, making it difficult to determine to what extent theRevolution really changed women’s lives.

想问的是，LK和TW各自的观点是什么？TW和LK的观点不同在哪里？为什么最后说obscure了TW的观点？
我是这样理解的不知道哪里错了：LK的观点是美国革命后某种意识形态导致了妇女受教育的机会增多。这种现象出现的原因是领导人要培养政治道德的美国下一代。然后第二段说TW在美国独立革命前就发现了女性实践教育增加的趋势。然后我就凌乱了！它说TW挑战这个观念：革命改变了人们对女性受教育的态度，然后又说历史学家因为LK的观点而模糊了TW的观点。我认为这两个人的观点没有矛盾啊，一个讲战后，一个讲站前，为什么会出现非此即彼的现象？而TW的观点怎么就挑战了革命改变人们对女性受教育的态度这个观点呢？
真是阅读能力不行理解能力也有问题了...求助大牛们！！！谢谢！

最后是Q12，答案到底是D还是B，我看到了两个版本呢...

LZ好，说一说我的理解：
1.LK的观点是说革命共和的实现直接推动了妇女受教育的发展，因果是共和→妇女教育；TW的观点是革命之前人们已经开始重视女孩的教育了，所以革命只是加速了这种趋势，并不是直接导致产生了这种趋势；

2.最后obscure的内容不是TW的观点，而是学者们基于LK的观点所做的研究都忽略了TW观点中提到的趋势，与第二段开始的时候说TW是唯一一个研究革命前教育情况的特例相呼应。
