The condition of scholarship devoted to the history of women in photography is confounding. Recent years have witnessed the posthumous inflation of the role of the hohhyist Alice Austen into that of a pioneering documentarian while dozens of notable
line senior figures—Marion Palfi, whose photographs of civil-rights activities in the South
5 served as early evidence of the need for protective legislation, to name one—received scant attention from scholars. And, while Naomi Rosenblum’s synoptic History of Women Photographers covers the subject through 1920 in a generally useful fashion, once she reaches the 1920s, when the venues, forms, applications, and movements of the medium expanded exponentially, she resorts to an increasingly terse listing of un-
10 familiar names, with approaches and careers summarized in a sentence or two.
The author of the passage cites Rosenblum’s book most likely in order to
选项
A、suggest that the works documented most thoroughly by historians of women in photography often do not warrant that attention
B、offer an explanation for the observation that not all aspects of the history of women in photography have received the same level of attention
C、provide an example of a way in which scholarship on the history of women in photography has been unsatisfactory
D、suggest that employing a strictly chronological approach when studying the history of women in photography may be unproductive
E、provide support for the notion that certain personalities in women’s photography have attained undue prominence
答案
C
解析
As mentioned above, the topic of the passage is the unsatisfactory condition of scholarship devoted to the history of women in photography. Since Rosenblum’s book is clearly presented as an example of this unsatisfactory scholarship, Choice C is the correct answer. Choice D may seem appealing, because a strictly chronological approach might be inadequate to represent the explosive growth of the field in the 1920s. However, the sentence does not develop this idea, and this is not the reason for mentioning Rosenblum.
