When the history of women began to receive focused attention in the 1970', Eleanor Roosevelt was one of a handful of female Americans who were well known to both historians and the general public. Despite the evidence that she had been important in social-reform circles before her husband was elected President and that she continued to advocate different causes than he did, she held a place in the public imagination largely because she was the wife of a particularly influential President. Her own activities were seen as preparing the way for her husband's election or as a complement to his programs. Even Joseph Lash's two volumes of sympathetic biography, Eleanor and Franklin (1971) and Eleanor: The Years Alone (1972), reflected this assumption.

Lash's biography revealed a complicated woman who sought through political activity both to flee inner misery and to promote causes in which she passionately believed. However, she still appeared to be an idiosyncratic figure, somehow self-generated not amenable to any generalized explanation. She emerged from the biography as a mother to the entire nation, or as a busybody, but hardly as a social type, a figure comprehensible in terms of broader social developments.

But more recent work on the feminism of the post-suffrage years (following 1920) allows us to see Roosevelt in a different light and to bring her life into a more richly detailed context. Lois Scharf's Eleanor Roosevelt, written in 1987, depicts a generation of privileged women, born in the late nineteenth century and maturing in the twentieth, who made the transition from old patterns of female association to new ones. Their views and their lives were full of contradictions. They maintained female social networks but began to integrate women into mainstream politics; they demanded equal treatment but also argued that women's maternal responsibilities made them both wards and representatives of the public interest. Thanks to Scharf and others, Roosevelt's activities——for example, her support both for labor laws protecting women and for appointments of women to high public office——have become intelligible in terms of this social context rather than as the idiosyncratic career of a famous man's wife.

The author cites which of the following as evidence against the public view of Eleanor Roosevelt held in the 1970's?

AShe had been born into a wealthy family.
BHer political career predated the adoption of women's suffrage.
CShe continued her career in politics even after her husband's death.
DShe was one of a few female historical figures who were well known to historians by the 1970's.
EHer activism predated her husband's presidency and her projects differed from his.

注意题干中的against，意思是以下哪个选项是和人们对Roosevelt的观点对立的，也就是说要找跟大众观点相反的观点，定位 Despite the evidence that she had been important in social-reform circles before her husband was elected President and that she continued to advocate different causes than he did，说尽管她在她丈夫当选总统前就怎么怎么怎么的，还继续倡导各种事情什么的，但人们对她的印象仅仅是罗斯福的老婆而已。所以和大众相反的观点就是Despite后面的内容，选项E是对这部分的改写

这题首先看完题目我就定位到了第三段，我想找和a generation of women 有关的答案，A似乎有关但是这段没提到她出身所以去掉 B无关但不确定留着先C无关但不确定留着先 D明显不sufficient去掉 E无关但不确定留着先；剩下的三个选项有两个跟她丈夫都有关，那就回到第一段，然后才看到 ‘Despite the evidence that she had been important in social-reform circles before her husband was elected President and that she continued to advocate different causes than he did’

So we can see people largely view she as the wife of president rather her dedication

要仔细看，she continued to advocate different causes than he did是说她仍支持不同的causes(y原因、事业、目标)，而不是继续进行她的事业。C选项偷换了内容，要小心

public view是Her own activities were seen as preparing the way for her husband\'s election or as a complement to his programs. Even Joseph Lash\'s two volumes of Sympathetic biography, Eleanor and Franklin (1971) and Eleanor: The Years Alone (1972), reflected this assumption.，因为这里说几本传记都是认为她的活动是为了丈夫的选举做准备的，或者是对丈夫选举的一种补充。现在要找与大众观点相反的内容就是E所说
