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.

The passage suggests that Woody would have agreed with which of the following claims regarding “An Essay on Woman”?

It expressed attitudes concerning women’s education that were reflected in new educational opportunities for women after 1750. It persuaded educators to offer greater educational opportunities to women in the 1750s. It articulated ideas about women’s education that would not be realized until after the American Revolution. It offered one of the most original arguments in favor of women’s education in the United States in the eighteenth century. It presented views about women’s education that were still controversial in Woody’s own time.

文章大意逻辑
文章围绕美国革命后女性教育机会展开讨论。首先，20世纪80年代中期，Linda Kerber提出“共和母亲”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，母亲角色对共和国命运至关重要，这为女性教育受重视提供依据。接着，“共和母亲”这一论点极大改变了史学，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通过研究发现1750年左右男女教育机会都增加，“An Essay on Woman”（1753）反映观念转变，女性实用教育在革命前就有很多倡导者，其证据挑战了革命改变女性教育态度这一观念，虽然可能只是加速了早期趋势，且史学家对Kerber论点的依赖可能掩盖了这些趋势。 文章类型与逻辑简图
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 surge in women's educational opportunities. Woody's view: Educational opportunities increased around 1750, "An Essay on Woman" reflected shift, female practical education had advocates before Revolution, challenging Kerber's view. 问题类型与做题方法
问题类型为推断题，做题方法是通过定位文中关于Woody对“An Essay on Woman”观点的表述来进行推断。定位提示句子为“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.” 选项分析
A选项：“It expressed attitudes concerning women’s education that were reflected in new educational opportunities for women after 1750.”。Woody发现1750年左右教育机会增加，且“An Essay on Woman”反映观念转变，所以该选项符合Woody观点，正确。 B选项：文中未提及它劝说教育工作者在18世纪50年代为女性提供更多教育机会，无中生有，错误。 C选项：Woody认为革命前就有女性教育相关趋势，并非这些观念直到美国革命后才实现，与Woody观点相悖，错误。 D选项：文中未表明它是18世纪美国支持女性教育最具原创性的论点之一，无中生有，错误。 E选项：文中没有信息表明其观点在Woody所处时代仍有争议，无中生有，错误。
