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.
It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
选项
A、American women were not treated as equals of their male counterparts in the 18th century
B、there were many female scholars in America in the 18th century
C、Abigail Adams lived to see her dreams come true
D、Abigail Adams was not satisfied with her husband because of his tyranny
答案
A
解析
本题为推理题,要求通过推测判断选项中的事实哪一个正确。选项中[A] 项是比较容易判断的,同时,《大学英语》泛读第五册第五课 Women and the Vote 也告诉大家,19世纪之前美国妇女没有得到与男性平等的权利,直到20世纪初美国妇女才得到和男人基本平等的权利。当时美国也不可能有许多女性学者,否则,她们三位就不会去劝诫妇女接受教育,以求自立了。关于Abigail Adams,[C] 和[D] 的内容文中没有提到。
