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.
What did Mercy Warren, Abigail Adams, and Judith Sargeant Murray have in common?
选项
A、They all wrote books.
B、They were all responsible for the financial support of their families.
C、They were all interested in women’s accomplishments.
D、They all had influential families.
答案
D
解析
这也是一道细节题,提问这三位妇女平等主义的共同点。文章中的第一位女性能够著书立说,表明她绝非等闲之辈,其家庭背景一定不错;第二位女性虽不能著书立说,但其丈夫却是美国第二任总统,其背景可想而知;第三位女性was brought up with the values of gentility,亦可见其家庭影响。由此可见,她们的共同特点应该是其家庭背景。
