Prep T1-eassy 5

[mitori]

Historians have identified two dominant currents in the Russian women's movement of the late tsarist period. "Bourgeois" feminism, so called by its more radical opponents, emphasized "individualist" feminist goals such as access to education, career opportunities, and legal equality. "Socialist" feminists, by contrast, emphasized class, rather than gender, as the principal source of women's inequality and oppression, and socialist revolution, not legal reform, as the only road to emancipation and equality.

However, despite antagonism between bourgeois feminists and socialist feminists, the two movements shared certain underlying beliefs. Both regarded paid labor as the principal means by which women might attain emancipation: participation in the workplace and economic self-sufficiency, they believed, would make women socially useful and therefore deserving of equality with men. Both groups also recognized the enormous difficulties women faced when they combined paid labor with motherhood. In fact, at the First All-Russian Women's Congress in 1908, most participants advocated maternity insurance and paid maternity leave, although the intense hostility between some socialists and bourgeois feminists at the Congress made it difficult for them to recognize these areas of agreement. Finally, socialist feminists and most bourgeois feminists concurred in subordinating women's emancipation to what they considered the more important goal of liberating the entire Russian population from political oppression, economic backwardness, and social injustice.

看完整篇文章但是找不到適合的選項, 該從哪邊定位呢?
不知道是不是我誤會題目的意思, 這題我是選C
請大家指導一下^^

該是選D吧，他說這兩派的女性主義者都有一同樣的看法，就是在經濟上給女性和男性一樣的報酬，會使女性在其他方面也得到同樣的肯定...（please refer back to paragraph 2)

D 和E 的other countries是無關議題/比較,原文沒有提到

[pockyqueen]

沒有呀~紅字部分是說 ...what they considered the more important goal of ...

答案也沒有提到political achievements是最重要的喔~
只是說(B) the achievement of larger political aims should take precedence over the achievement of women's rights
就是political achievements比較重要所以應該要在女權achievement之前

謝謝你
不過我想在問一下,a選項有提到agreement,可是我覺得文章中有提到agreement只有從第2段開始,那我這樣的定位題目出處有誤嗎?

[julanlu808]

看文章的main idea是要看文章主要是在說什麼喔~
第一段只是在提出背景知識,真正的重點是在第二段(由其是第一句話)

(B)沒有advocate
(C)沒有contrast
(D)沒有這樣的比較(irrelevant comparison)
(E)沒有criticize

希望有幫助到你~

想請問一下答案C
文章說 Finally, socialist feminists and most bourgeois feminists concurred in subordinating women's emancipation to what they considered the more important goal of liberating the entire Russian population from political oppression, economic backwardness, and social injustice.

文章有說 both believe吧，我把concurred in翻成同意應該可以嗎?

答案C不能選是否是因為題目只有說liberating是more important的，而沒有說emanicipatiom would bring about the liberation of the entire Russian population. ==>所以造成過度推論?
