Two works published in 1984 demonstrate contrasting approaches to writing the history of United States women.Buel and Buel’s biography of Mary Fish (1736–1818) makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one southern community, but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century. Although both books offer the reader the opportunity to assess this controversy regarding women’s status, only Lebsock’s deals with it directly. She examines several different aspects of women’s status, helping to refine and resolve the issues. She concludes that while women gained autonomy in some areas, especially in the private sphere, they lost it in many aspects of the economic sphere. More importantly, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference: in many respects, women lost power in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men. Yet women also gained power in comparison with their previous status, owning a higher proportion of real estate, for example. In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status.

The passage suggests that Buel and Buel’s biography of Mary Fish provides evidence for which of the following views of women’s history?

Women have lost power in relation to men since the colonial era. Women of the colonial era were not as likely to be concerned with their status as were women in the nineteenth century. The colonial era was not as favorable for women as some historians have believed. Women had more economic autonomy in the colonial era than in the nineteenth century. Women’s occupations were generally more respected in the colonial era than in the nineteenth century.

文章大意逻辑
文章开篇指出1984年出版的两部作品在书写美国女性历史方面方法形成对比。Buel的玛丽·费什传记几乎没将故事置于近期女性史学背景中；Lebsock则不仅书写南方社区女性历史，还重新引导了关于19世纪女性地位变化的史学辩论。尽管两本书都提供评估女性地位争议的机会，但只有Lebsock的直接处理了该争议，她分析得出女性在某些方面获得自主权，某些方面失去，且与男性相比权力有失有得。而Buel的传记提供了质疑18世纪殖民黄金时代神话的原始材料，但在分析女性地位争议上没给读者太多指引。 文章类型及逻辑简图
文章类型为对比型。逻辑简图： Introduction：Two works (1984) contrasting approaches to US women's history Buel：biography of Mary Fish, little effort in context Lebsock：history of women in a southern community, redirect historiographical debate Analysis： Lebsock：deals with women's status controversy directly, concludes women's gains and losses Buel：provides raw material for questioning myth, little guidance in analyzing controversy 问题类型及做题方法
问题类型为细节推断题。做题方法是通过定位到文中关于Buel的玛丽·费什传记的描述，从其提供的内容和未做到的事情来推断其体现的关于女性历史的观点。定位提示句子为“In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status.” 选项分析
A选项：文中未提及自殖民时代以来女性相对男性权力丧失，无中生有，排除。 B选项：文中没有将殖民时代女性和19世纪女性对自身地位的关注程度进行对比，无中生有，排除。 C选项：Buel的传记提供材料质疑殖民黄金时代神话，意味着殖民时代可能不像一些历史学家认为的对女性那么有利，该项符合文意，当选。 D选项：文章没有对比殖民时代和19世纪女性经济自主权，无中生有，排除。 E选项：文中未对殖民时代和19世纪女性职业受尊重程度进行比较，无中生有，排除。
