| 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. |

提问：
这道题问了一个例子的作用，这个例子，然后根据文章脉络读这个例子支持的论点。
然后我读到了例子前一句说了一个事实，这个例子是since打头，例子后半句说：因此历史学家诧异于一个事实xxxxx。
这个时候我不知道该往上读还是往下读，做题过程中我觉得例子是一个原因，in order to引出后半句“历史学家们诧异xxx”，因此往后读了，没有选对，选了E。
不知道哪里做的不够好，希望老师指出。辛苦了！
另外：想请问老师，当遇到这种比较难的社科类文章，又出现比较多的不同人物的观点句“A claimed that...”，“B argues that...”，“C insisted that...” 扫读原文把握观点和脉络的时候，该如何正确判断哪些要读，哪些不需要读？
问题比较多，谢谢老师！
