Jacob Burckhardt’s view that Renaissance European women “stood on a footing of perfect equality” with Renaissance men has been repeatedly cited by feminist scholars as a prelude to their presentation of rich historical evidence of women’s inequality. In striking contrast to Burckhardt, Joan Kelly in her famous 1977 essay, “Did Women Have a Renaissance?” argued that the Renaissance was a period of economic and social decline for women relative both to Renaissance men and to medieval women. Recently, however, a significant trend among feminist scholars has entailed a rejection of both Kelly’s dark vision of the Renaissance and Burckhardt’s rosy one. Many recent works by these scholars stress the ways in which differences among Renaissance women—especially in terms of social status and religion—work to complicate the kinds of generalizations both Burckhardt and Kelly made on the basis of their observations about upper-class Italian women.

The trend is also evident, however, in works focusing on those middle- and upper-class European women whose ability to write gives them disproportionate representation in the historical record. Such women were, simply by virtue of their literacy, members of a tiny minority of the population, so it is risky to take their descriptions of their experiences as typical of “female experience” in any general sense. Tina Krontiris, for example, in her fascinating study of six Renaissance women writers, does tend at times to conflate “women” and “women writers,” assuming that women’s gender, irrespective of other social differences, including literacy, allows us to view women as a homogeneous social group and make that group an object of analysis. Nonetheless, Krontiris makes a significant contribution to the field and is representative of those authors who offer what might be called a cautiously optimistic assessment of Renaissance women’s achievements, although she also stresses the social obstacles Renaissance women faced when they sought to raise their “oppositional voices.” Krontiris is concerned to show women intentionally negotiating some power for themselves (at least in the realm of public discourse) against potentially constraining ideologies, but in her sober and thoughtful concluding remarks, she suggests that such verbal opposition to cultural stereotypes was highly circumscribed; women seldom attacked the basic assumptions in the ideologies that oppressed them.

The author of the passage implies that the women studied by Krontiris are unusual in which of the following ways?

They faced obstacles less formidable than those faced by other Renaissance women. They have been seen by historians as more interesting than other Renaissance women. They were more concerned about recording history accurately than were other Renaissance women. Their perceptions are more likely to be accessible to historians than are those of most other Renaissance women. Their concerns are likely to be of greater interest to feminist scholars than are the ideas of most other Renaissance women.

文章大意逻辑
文章开篇指出雅各布·布克哈特认为文艺复兴时期欧洲女性与男性地位平等，这一观点常被女权主义学者引用以引出女性不平等的历史证据。琼·凯利则持相反观点，认为文艺复兴时期女性相对男性在经济和社会方面处于衰退状态。近期，女权主义学者出现一种趋势，既拒绝凯利的悲观看法，也拒绝布克哈特的乐观看法，强调文艺复兴女性间的差异。接着提到关注中上层能写作的欧洲女性的作品也体现了这一趋势，以蒂娜·克龙特里丝研究六位文艺复兴女性作家为例，指出其研究虽有将“女性”和“女性作家”混同的问题，但仍有重要贡献。 文章类型及逻辑简图
文章类型：新旧观点对比 逻辑简图 Old view: Burckhardt Renaissance women = men Opposing view: Kelly Renaissance a decline period for women New trend: Reject both Burckhardt and Kelly, stress differences among Renaissance women Example: Krontiris' study of six women writers, has some issues but also significant contribution 做题方法及问题类型
本题是推断题，通过定位关键词“Krontiris”及其相关描述来进行推断。 选项分析
A选项：文中未提及她们面临的障碍比其他文艺复兴女性少，无中生有，排除。 B选项：文中没有将她们与其他文艺复兴女性在“被历史学家认为更有趣”这方面进行比较，排除。 C选项：文中没有关于她们比其他文艺复兴女性更关注准确记录历史的表述，排除。 D选项：根据文中“such women were, simply by virtue of their literacy, members of a tiny minority of the population, so it is risky to take their descriptions of their experiences as typical of “female experience” in any general sense”以及对Krontiris研究的描述可知，这些女性因为能写作，其观念更易被历史学家获取，该项可以推断得出，当选。 E选项：文中未表明她们的关注点比其他文艺复兴女性的想法对女权主义学者更有吸引力，排除。
