Two works published in 1984 demonstrate contrasting approaches to writing the history of United States women. Buel and Buel’s biography of Mary Fish (1736–1818) makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on
women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one southern community, but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as
compared with the eighteenth century. Although both books offer the reader the opportunity to assess this controversy regarding women’s status, only Lebsock’s deals with it directly. She examines several different aspects of women’s status, helping
to refi ne and resolve the issues. She concludes that while women gained autonomy in some areas, especially in the private sphere, they lost it in many aspects of the economic sphere. More importantly, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame
of reference: in many respects, women lost power in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men. Yet women also gained power in comparison with their previous status, owning a
higher proportion of real estate, for example. In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader
much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status.
81. The passage suggests that Buel and Buel’s biography of Mary Fish provides evidence for which of the following views of women’s history?
(A) Women have lost power in relation to men since the colonial era. (B) Women of the colonial era were not as likely to be concerned with their status as were women in the nineteenth century. (C) The colonial era was not as favorable for women as some historians have believed. (D) Women had more economic autonomy in the colonial era than in the nineteenth century. (E) Women’s occupations were generally more respected in the colonial era than in the nineteenth century.
Any thoughts about this ?
Thanks in advance Voodoo

Reading these lines the answer is C. The passage head starts with the controversy about the status of women and by the end it says problem was worse than some historians conjecture. Read the last line
In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status.
myth = women gained status in some sphere and lost in some sphere

The last line says "but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy " -> It doesnt say anything about the status. Again, it was not historians conjecture. "questioning the myth" was fostered doesn't mean historians guessed somethng. I am still not clear why C) is correct. May be I am missing something.

C it is. The last line mentions that some historians believed that there was a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century. But the words "myth" and "fostered" tell us that the truth is different. The "golden age" that some historians believed existed did not actually exist. That can be rewritten as option C.
