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 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 seventeenthcentury political theorist Robert Filmer—a patriarchalism 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 complete political and social isolation that her absolute singularity entailed.

The phrase “a satellite orbiting a dominant male planet” (highlight) refers most directly to

Cavendish’s concept that each woman is a sovereign self the complete political and social isolation of absolute singularity the immaterial world that a writer can create on paper the absolute subordination of women in a patriarchal society the metaphorical figure of the absolute monarch

文章大意逻辑
17世纪英国被视为现代女权先驱的女性大多站在保皇党一边，而保皇党意识形态常与激进父权制联系，这让历史学家困惑，因保皇党女性对女性在婚姻中的绝对从属提出批评且主张男女理性和道德平等。一些历史学家质疑保皇党意识形态与父权制的简单等同，且两党在家庭组织和女性政治权利上无一致差异。凯瑟琳·加拉格尔认为保皇主义催生女权主义，因绝对君主制意识形态向绝对自我意识形态过渡，她以玛格丽特·卡文迪什为例，卡文迪什宣称自己虽有野心但因身为女性被排除在现实权力追求外，于是决心成为自己“非物质世界”的主宰，强调自己的“独特性”，而非父权社会中围绕男性主导的附属存在。 文章类型及逻辑简图
文章类型：现象解释型。逻辑简图： Phenomenon: 17 century English feminist forerunners mostly Royalist while Royalist ideology linked to patriarchy. Historians' confusion: Royalist women criticized female subordination. Some historians' view: Question the easy equation of Royalist ideology and patriarchy. Catherine Gallagher's view: Royalism engendered feminism, example of Margaret Cavendish. 做题方法及问题类型
这是一道细节题，通过定位文中“a satellite orbiting a dominant male planet”这一高亮短语所在句子及上下文来解题。 选项分析
A选项：“Cavendish’s concept that each woman is a sovereign self”。卡文迪什强调自己是自我充足的存在，是自己主观宇宙的中心，而不是围绕男性主导的附属，所以该选项与短语所指相反，排除。 B选项：“the complete political and social isolation of absolute singularity”。文中未提及绝对独特性的完全政治和社会孤立，与短语所指无关，排除。 C选项：“the immaterial world that a writer can create on paper”。这是卡文迪什决心主宰的自己的世界，与短语所表达的女性在父权社会中的附属地位无关，排除。 D选项：“the absolute subordination of women in a patriarchal society”。该短语形象地描绘了在父权社会中女性处于围绕男性主导的附属地位，符合文意，当选。 E选项：“the metaphorical figure of the absolute monarch”。与短语所表达的女性地位含义不符，排除。
