Both Mercy Warren and Abigail Adams admired Catherine Macaulay; the radical author of A History of England, who supported the cause of the American patriots. Under Macaulay’s influence Mercy Warren conceived her plan ’to write a history of the American Revolution, living to complete it in 1805. Abigail Adams rejected literary ambitions for her- self and never lost her sense of inferiority about her poor spelling and ignorance of Latin. Yet her letters, rather than Warren’s plays and verse, have become the greater source in documenting signs of a dawning feminist consciousness.
Abigail Adams welcomed every advance for women and foresaw more than could be realized in her lie time. She urged her husband, the second President of United States, to "remember the ladies in the new code of laws, and to give married women protection from tyrannical husbands. As she pointed out, the terrible deficiencies in education for women were felt at all levels, she finally made the significant request to her husband, that the new constitution "be distinguished from Learning and Virtue, " and suggested that "if we mean to have Heroes, Statesmen and Philosophers, we should have learned women. "This awareness of education’s value, rooted in the Enlightenment faith in human potentiality, had feminist implications before there was a feminist idol.
A younger contemporary of similar background gave the reading public an explicit feminist argument for the education of women. The views of Judith Sargeant Murray (1775— 1820)reflected both personal and family experience. Murray’s Gleaner essays published in the 1790’s transcended the boundaries of her world in recognizing the need for training women to earn their own living. Although, like Mercy Warren and Abigail Adams, she was brought up with the values of gentility, she knew through personal hardship that even women of her class might be forced to be self-supporting; education could provide independence for women in need, whether they were unmarried women or widows or wives.
Judith Sargeant Murray’s position can be best expressed by______.

中国古代,清雅幽远的古琴是士必须掌握的六艺之一,喧闹的火爆的吹打乐则是民间社火中缺少不了的。追究这两类音乐的产生,会发现期间有许多偶然性。但人们义会看到:古琴与中国的士那样的协调,吹打乐又是那样为社火增添光彩,若把二者交换个位置无疑是十分可笑的。这样的对比
