问题     They are highly educated, have massive earning potential and were brought up to believe that sexual equality was their right. But a new kind of post-feminist is emerging that would have the suffragettes (主张争取选举权的女性) turning in their graves. The new-conservative housewife has given up her high-status job, grown out her power bob (短发) and stays at home with the children and the vacuum cleaner.
    Of course there is nothing new about women giving up careers to look after children but these housewives prefer to be called "home managers".
    The American writer Danielle Crittenden is a champion for this reinvented breed of homemaker in her new book Amanda Bright@Home. Her husband David Frum, a former White House speech writer, invented the phrase "axis of evil". Crittenden’s theories on modern motherhood have put her at the top of the feminists’ hate list. Betty Friedan says Crittenden is anti-women.
    Crittenden’s novel started as a hugely popular fictional column in The Wall Street Journal. The protagonist (主人公) Amanda, a fashionable, middle-class Washington mother who has given up her job to look after her two young children, struck a chord with thousands in the same position. Amanda misses the status and the beige suits that went with her job and struggles chaotically, like a grown-up Bridget Jones, with shopping and household chores.
    Ultimately, however, Crittenden’s heroine believes that staying at home is the right thing to do and in real life the author celebrates the role of the stay-at-home mum, believing that pre-school children need to be with their mothers in the daytime. It may sound like a return to the pre-feminist 1950s but it is hard to write Crittenden off as old-fashioned.
    Setting out in Amanda Bright@Home Crittenden writes: "Her grandmother’s World War Two generation had embraced motherhood and rejected careers; her mother’s postwar generation rejected motherhood and embraced careers. And Amanda’s?"
    A recent poll on the site showed that if money were not an issue most mothers would prefer not to work at all. A large minority would like to work part-time but only a few favored full-time work. Some however, undergo an enlightenment and decide they never want to return to their high-speed existence.
It can be inferred that Danielle Crittenden ________.
选项 A、is a famous writer of best-sellers
B、takes writing as her part-time work
C、supports the practice of post-feminists
D、has been greatly influenced by her husband
答案C
解析 根据题干 Danielle Crittenden定位到第3段首句。第3段首句中的champion意为“支持者”，this reinvented breed of homemaker。指的就是上文提到的宁愿留在家里而不外出工作的后女权主义者，可见本题答案应为选项C。第3段首句只提到丹妮尔.克里坦登是一个作家，而原文也只提到她所写的一本书，由此难以判断她是不是专写畅销书的著名作家，因此选项A不正确；原文也没有提到写作是她的全职工作还是兼职工作，因此选项B不正确；第3段第2句提到了她丈夫的身份，但并没有表明她的丈夫对她影响很大，因此选项D也不正确。
