In current historiography, the picture of a consistent, unequivocal decline in women's status with the advent of capitalism and industrialization is giving way to an analysis that not only emphasizes both change (whether improvement or decline) and continuity but also accounts for geographical and occupational variation. The history of women's work in English farmhouse
cheese making between 1800 and 1930 is a case in point. In her influential Women Workers and the Industrial Revolution (1930), Pinchbeck argued that the agricultural revolution of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, with its attendant specialization and enlarged scale of operation, curtailed women's participation in the business of cheese production. Earlier, she maintained, women had concerned themselves with feeding cows, rearing calves, and even selling the cheese in local markets and fairs. Pinchbeck thought that the advent of specialization meant that women's work in cheese dairying was reduced simply to processing the milk. "Dairymen" (a new social category) raised and fed cows and sold the cheese through
factors, who were also men. With this narrowing of the scope of work, Pinchbeck believed, women lost business ability, independence, and initiative. Though Pinchbeck portrayed precapitalist, preindustrial conditions as superior to what followed,
recent scholarship has seriously questioned the notion of a golden age for women in precapitalist society. For example, scholars note that women's control seldom extended to the disposal of the proceeds of their work. In the case of cheese, the rise of factors may have compromised women's ability to market cheese at fairs. But merely selling the cheese did not
necessarily imply access to the money: Davidoff cites the case of an Essex man who appropriated all but a fraction of the money from his wife's cheese sales. By focusing on somewhat peripheral operations, moreover, Pinchbeck missed a substantial element of continuity in women's participation: throughout the period women did the central work of actually
making cheese. Their persistence in English cheese dairying contrasts with women's early disappearance from arable agriculture in southeast England and from American cheese dairying. Comparing these three divergent developments yields some reasons for the differences among them. English cheesemaking women worked in a setting in which cultural values, agricultural conditions, and the nature of their work combined to support their continued participation. In the other cases! one or more of these elements was lacking.

Historians who study European women of the
Renaissance try to measure "independence,"
"options," and other indicators of the degree to which
the expression of women's individuality was either
permitted or suppressed. Influenced by Western
individualism, these historians define a peculiar form
of personhood: an innately bounded unit, autonomous
and standing apart from both nature and society. An
anthropologist, however, would contend that a person
can be conceived in ways other than as an "individual."
In many societies a person's identity is not intrinsically
unique and self-contained but instead is defined within
a complex web of social relationships.
In her study of the fifteenth-century Florentine
widow Alessandra Strozzi, a historian who specializes
in European women of the Renaissance attributes
individual intention and authorship of actions to her
subject. This historian assumes that Alessandra had
goals and interests different from those of her sons,
yet much of the historian's own research reveals
that Alessandra acted primarily as a champion of
her sons' interests, taking their goals as her own.
Thus Alessandra conforms more closely to the
anthropologist's notion that personal motivation is
embedded in a social context. Indeed, one could argue
that Alessandra did not distinguish her personhood
from that of her sons. In Renaissance Europe the
boundaries of the conceptual self were not always firm
and closed and did not necessarily coincide with the
boundaries of the bodily self.

In addition to conventional galaxies, the universe
contains very dim galaxies that until recently went
unnoticed by astronomers. Possibly as numerous
as conventional galaxies, these galaxies have the
same general shape and even the same
approximate number of stars as a common type of
conventional galaxy, the spiral, but tend to be much
larger. Because these galaxies' mass is spread out
over larger areas, they have far fewer stars per unit
volume than do conventional galaxies. Apparently
these low-surface-brightness galaxies, as they are
called, take much longer than conventional galaxies
to condense their primordial gas and convert it to
stars-that is, they evolve much more slowly.
These galaxies may constitute an answer to the
long-standing puzzle of the missing baryonic mass
in the universe. Baryons-subatomic particles that
are generally protons or neutrons-are the source .
of stellar, and therefore galactic, luminosity, and so
their numbers can be estimated based on how
luminous galaxies are. However, the amount of
helium in the universe, as measured by
spectroscopy, suggests that there are far more
baryons in the universe than estimates based on
galactic luminosity indicate. Astronomers have long
speculated that the missing baryonic mass might
eventually be discovered in intergalactic space or as
some large population of galaxies that are
difficult to detect.

PhishCo runs a number of farms in the arid province of Nufa, depending largely on irrigation. Now, as part of a plan to efficiently increase the farms' total production, it plans to drill down to an aquifer containing warm, slightly salty water that will be used to raise fish in ponds. The water from the ponds will later be used to supplement piped-in irrigation water for PhishCo's vegetable fields, and the ponds and accompanying vegetation should help reduce the heat in the area of the farms.
Which of the following would, if true, most strongly suggest that the plan, if implemented, would increase the overall efficiency of PhishCo's farms?
