Recent feminist scholarship concerning the United
States in the 1920s challenges earlier interpretations
that assessed the 1920s in terms of the unkept
“promises” of the women's suffrage movement. This
new scholarship disputes the long-held view that
because a women's voting bloc did not materialize
after women gained the right to vote in 1920,
suffrage failed to produce long-term political gains
for women. These feminist scholars also challenge
the old view that pronounced suffrage a failure for
not delivering on the promise that the women's vote
would bring about moral, corruption-free governance.
Asked whether women's suffrage was a failure, these
scholars cite the words of turn-of-the-century social
reformer Jane Addams, “Why don't you ask if suffrage
in general is failing?”
In some ways, however, these scholars still present
the 1920s as a period of decline. After suffrage, they
argue, the feminist movement lost its cohesiveness,
and gender consciousness waned.After the mid-
1920s, few successes could be claimed by feminist
reformers: little could be seen in the way of legislative
victories.
During this decade, however, there was intense
activism aimed at achieving increased autonomy for
women, broadening the spheres within which they
lived their daily lives. Women's organizations worked
to establish opportunities for women: they strove to
secure for women the full entitlements of citizenship,
including the right to hold office and the right to serve
on juries.

这篇文章讨论了最近关于20世纪20年代的学术研究，它挑战了早期的一种解释，即20世纪20年代的妇女选举权运动被认为是失败的，因为它没有实现长期的政治目标。对这一早期解释负责的学者将20世纪20年代描述为一个衰落的时期，而这里的文章对这一评价提出了挑战。
答案 C
A.这篇文章主要是讨论最近的学术研究如何挑战先前对妇女投票权运动的评估。文章没有提供具体的证据表明1920年代的女权主义改革者未能达到他们的目标。
B.虽然这篇文章提到妇女投票权运动未兑现的“承诺”，但这篇文章并没有把这种“承诺”与20世纪20年代的历史现实进行对比。
C.正确。这篇文章讨论了最近有关妇女选举权成就的学术研究。在最后一段中，这一段提出了对这些成就的另一种看法。
D.这篇文章没有概述是什么导致了妇女的选举权。这篇文章的重点是关于妇女获得选举权后的学术研究。
E.这篇文章并没有支持1920年代女权主义者在提高女性性别意识方面取得成功的传统观点。事实上，这篇文章与传统观点相冲突，因为它表明，在20世纪20年代，存在着强烈的激进主义，旨在增加妇女的自主权。
