| Line | It is an odd but indisputable fact that the |
| seventeenth-century English women who are | |
| generally regarded as among the forerunners of | |
| modern feminism are almost all identified with the | |
| (5) | Royalist side in the conflict between Royalists and |
| Parliamentarians known as the English Civil Wars. | |
| Since Royalist ideology is often associated with the | |
| radical patriarchalism of seventeenth-century | |
| political theorist Robert Filmer—a patriarchalism | |
| (10) | that equates family and kingdom and asserts the |
| divinely ordained absolute power of the king and, | |
| by analogy, of the male head of the household— | |
| historians have been understandably puzzled by the | |
| fact that Royalist women wrote the earliest | |
| (15) | extended criticisms of the absolute subordination |
| of women in marriage and the earliest systematic | |
| assertions of women’s rational and moral equality | |
| with men. Some historians have questioned the | |
| facile equation of Royalist ideology with Filmerian | |
| (20) | patriarchalism; and indeed, there may have been |
| no consistent differences between Royalists and | |
| Parliamentarians on issues of family organization | |
| and women’s political rights, but in that case one | |
| would expect early feminists to be equally divided | |
| (25) | between the two sides. |
| Catherine Gallagher argues that Royalism | |
| engendered feminism because the ideology of | |
| absolute monarchy provided a transition to an | |
| ideology of the absolute self. She cites the example | |
| (30) | of the notoriously eccentric author Margaret |
| Cavendish (1626–1673), duchess of Newcastle. | |
| Cavendish claimed to be as ambitious as any | |
| woman could be, but knowing that as a woman she | |
| was excluded from the pursuit of power in the real | |
| (35) | world, she resolved to be mistress of her own |
| world, the “immaterial world” that any person can | |
| create within her own mind—and, as a writer, on | |
| paper. In proclaiming what she called her | |
| “singularity,” Cavendish insisted that she was a | |
| (40) | self-sufficient being within her mental empire, the |
| center of her own subjective universe rather than a | |
| satellite orbiting a dominant male planet. In | |
| justifying this absolute singularity, Cavendish | |
| repeatedly invoked the model of the absolute | |
| (45) | monarch, a figure that became a metaphor for the |
| self-enclosed, autonomous nature of the individual | |
| person. Cavendish’s successors among early | |
| feminists retained her notion of woman’s sovereign | |
| self, but they also sought to break free from the | |
| (50) | complete political and social isolation that her |
| absolute singularity entailed. |
题目：
Which of the following, if true, would most clearly undermine Gallagher’s explanation of the link between Royalism and feminism?
选项:
A、Because of their privileged backgrounds, Royalist women were generally better educated than were their Parliamentarian counterparts.
B、Filmer himself had read some of Cavendish’s early writings and was highly critical of her ideas.
C、Cavendish’s views were highly individual and were not shared by the other Royalist women who wrote early feminist works.
D、The Royalist and Parliamentarian ideologies were largely in agreement on issues of family organization and women’s political rights.
E、The Royalist side included a sizable minority faction that was opposed to the more radical tendencies of Filmerian patriarchalism.
答案:
C
提问：
错选了D，因为我觉得上一段是在讲conflict，而第二段是对conflict提出解释。上一段的末尾说如果是这样的话，女性主义者会分成两派而不是支持royalist，而这一段说royalist导致女权，那么不就是说女性还是站在royalist这边，与上一段相反吗？
