Q16 to Q19:
In 1675, Louis XIV
established the Parisian
seamstresses’ guild, the first
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.
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.
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.

Q19:
The author mentions the seamstresses’ view of guild membership as a “mark of independence from the patriarchal family” (lines 40-41) primarily in order to

A.emphasize that the establishment of the seamstresses’ guild had implications that were not solely economic
B.illustrate the conflict that existed between tailors and their female family members over membership in the tailors’ guild
C.imply that the establishment of the seamstresses’ guild ushered in a period of increased economic and social freedom for women in France
D.provide an explanation for the dramatic increase in the number of women working as seamstresses after 1675
E.indicate that members of the seamstresses’ guild were financially more successful than were tailors’ female relatives protected by the tailors’ guild
