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.
题目分析：
文章细节题：作者认为TK研究的女性不同寻常的地方是：（TK研究的女性）
选项分析：
A选项：她们遇到的困难比其她女性遇到的小：文章没有对比不同女性遇到的困难大小。
B选项：历史学家对她们更感兴趣：文章没有提到历史学家对她们感兴趣的程度。
C选项：她们更关心记录的准确度：文章没有提到记录的准确度，只提到她们有读写能力，有记录的能力。
D选项：正确。她们的观念更可能被历史学家知道：因为她们有读写能力，可以记录，所以之后的历史学家更可能了解到她们的观点。
E选项：女性学者对她们的观点更感兴趣：文章没有提到女性学者对TK研究的女性有没有兴趣。
定位好：要知道在K的观点前面是作者对K的观点的看法，然后就要从头看，不能略过
其次是不要脑补也不要乱推断，这里是imply：一定是明白写在那里的
D/E，不是更感兴趣和不感兴趣的问题。对两个都感兴趣，只是不能写字的女性的关注点和想法历史学家想拿也拿不到。
选项理解：
Their perceptions are more likely to be accessible to historians.她们的观点更容易被历史学家获得。
accessible：可见到的，可使用的，可到达的；access：通道，进入，使用
in works focusing on those middle- and upper-class European women whose ability to write gives them disproportionate representation in the historical record.
hose ability to write gives them disproportionate representation in the historical record
ability to write gives them disproportionate representation in the historical record
有点儿晕 ......第一段末尾不是说this trend批判K和B 的 generalization based on observation about upper-class women 但是为啥第二段又说this trend is also evident in works focusing on women that have literacy skills.
这不成了trend批判人家样本只是upper class， 自己也是focus on tiny type吗
works focusing on those middle- and upper-class European women whose ability to write gives them disproportionate representation in the historical record
再看一遍这道题，很像一道CR，说部分不能代表全体。
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. 说明这些女性发出的声音过于不符合实际数量比例的被重视，也就是精英上层的女性代表了大部分的女性来发声，而被历史学家所关注。也就是说大部分的下层女性的声音并没有被听到。
问题是K描述的女性在哪些方面有不同之处，然后定位最后一段K的描述，主要写的这里说的女性都是女性作家的群体。看了一遍选项好像都没有提过，再回文章看这段K描述的不同allows us to view women as a homogeneous social group and make that group an object of analysis.允许我们把这女性视为一个相同的社会群体，一个群体就会更好分析。选项D沾点边。
