I came to feminism the way some people come to social movements in their early years: out of self-interest. I got on the equality bandwagon because I was a young woman with a streak of ambition a mile wide, and without a change in the atmosphere I thought I was going to wind up living a life that would make me crazy. As my father said not long ago, "Can you imagine what it would have been like if you had been born 50 years earlier? Your life would have been miserable."
The great thing was that it was possible to do good for all while you were doing well for yourself. Each of us rose on the shoulders of women who had come before us. Move up, reach down: that was the motto of those who were worth knowing. But it was not just other women we elevated, but entire enterprises. More women on the staffs and the mastheads of the country’s largest publications changed them. It resulted in newspapers and magazines that covered women as more than a mixture of recipes and fashion collections.
But there’s one question that always lurks around the margins of the battle for equal rights: how will we know when we’ve won? Sometimes it seems like a classic dance of two steps forward, one back. Indra Nooyi, an Indian-born number cruncher, was recently named CEO of Pepsi. But that makes her one of only 11 women now running a Fortune 500 company, which works out to slightly more than 2 percent. And Forbes magazine just published an essay titled "Don’t Marry Career Women" by a male writer who couldn’t see the advantages of a wife who could pay the mortgage and support the children even if her husband lost his job or suffered a massive coronary.
That kind of nonsense takes you back in time, to the early days when women dumped babies on the desk of the mayor of Syracuse to protest the lack of child care. Maybe it was the classic protest slogan "Don’t cook dinner—starve a rat today," but the perception was that the fight for equality was a war against men. But the battle was really against the waste of talent, the waste to society, the waste of women who had certain gifts and goals and had to suppress both. The point was not to take over male terrain but to change it because it badly needed changing. The depth and breadth of that transformation is what reflects the success of the movement, and by that measure, women are doing well. And so is everyone else.
The example of Indra Nooyi is cited to show that
选项
A、women are still the disadvantaged group in the society.
B、like men, women can also achieved great success.
C、men are still unwilling to marry career women.
D、Indian Americans can make great achievements in today’s US.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题,考查例证细节。根据题干中的专有名词Indra Nooyi定位到第三段。文中讲到“这种战斗就像跳一曲进两步、退一步的经典舞蹈”,“《财富》500强公司的CEO中女性只占2%多一点”,IndraNooyi的例子表明女性依然处于弱势,故A项为正确答案。
