Linda Kerber argued in the mid-1980s that after the American Revolution (1775–1783), an ideology of “republican motherhood” resulted in a surge of educational opportunities for women in the United States. Kerber maintained that the leaders of the new nation wanted women to be educated in order to raise politically virtuous sons. A virtuous citizenry was considered essential to the success of the country’s republican form of government; virtue was to be instilled not only by churches and schools, but by families, where the mother’s role was crucial. Thus, according to Kerber, motherhood became pivotal to the fate of the republic, providing justification for an unprecedented attention to female education.

Introduction of the “republican motherhood” thesis dramatically changed historiography. Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception. Examining newspaper advertisements for academies, Woody found that educational opportunities increased for both girls and boys around 1750. Pointing to “An Essay on Woman” (1753) as reflecting a shift in view, Woody also claimed that practical education for females had many advocates before the Revolution. Woody’s evidence challenges the notion that the Revolution changed attitudes regarding female education, although it may have accelerated earlier trends. Historians’ reliance on Kerber’s “republican motherhood” thesis may have obscured the presence of these trends, making it difficult to determine to what extent the Revolution really changed women’s lives.

According to the passage, within the field of educational history, Thomas Woody's 1929 work was

innovative because it relied on newspaper advertisements as evidence exceptional in that it concentrated on the period before the American Revolution unusual in that it focused on educational attitudes rather than on educational practices controversial in its claims regarding educational opportunities for boys atypical in that it examined the education of girls

文章大意逻辑
文章开篇介绍Linda Kerber在20世纪80年代中期提出“共和母亲身份”意识形态使得美国女性教育机会激增，新国家领导人希望女性受教育以培养政治上有品德的儿子，母亲身份对共和国命运至关重要，为重视女性教育提供依据。接着指出该理论极大改变了史学编纂，在Kerber之前，教育史学家很少提及女性，Thomas Woody 1929年的作品是例外。Woody通过研究报纸广告发现1750年左右女孩和男孩教育机会都增加，还指出在革命前就有很多人倡导女性实用教育，其证据挑战了革命改变女性教育态度这一观念，同时也表明史学家依赖Kerber理论可能掩盖了这些早期趋势，难以确定革命对女性生活的真正改变程度。 文章类型及逻辑简图
文章类型为新旧观点对比。逻辑简图： Kerber's view：After American Revolution, "republican motherhood" led to more educational opportunities for women. Leaders wanted women educated to raise virtuous sons. Motherhood was pivotal to republic's fate. Woody's work：Notable exception before Kerber. Examined newspaper ads, found educational opportunities increased for girls and boys around 1750, and female practical education had advocates before Revolution. His evidence challenges the view that Revolution changed female education attitudes. 做题方法及问题类型
本题为细节题，通过定位关键词“Thomas Woody's 1929 work”在文中找到相关描述来解题。 选项分析
A选项：文中未提及Woody的作品创新是因为依赖报纸广告作为证据，属于无中生有，排除。 B选项：Woody的作品关注的是1750年左右及革命前的情况，并非只集中在美国革命前，该选项表述不准确，排除。 C选项：文中未表明其关注教育态度而非教育实践是不寻常的，排除。 D选项：文章未提及关于男孩教育机会主张存在争议，排除。 E选项：根据文中“Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception.”可知，在Kerber的作品之前，教育史学家很少提及女性和女孩，Woody的作品研究女孩教育是不常见的，该项符合文意，当选。
