.ThesocialbackgroundofFeministConsciousness
Overall,theUnitedStatesinthe19thcentury,legal,religiousandtraditionalpracticesstrictrestrictionsonwomen,especiallySouthernwomen’srights.总的来说,在十九世纪的美国,法律、宗教、传统实践严格束缚着女人,尤其是南部女人的权利。
Theycouldnotvote,cannotmaketheirvoicesheardinthepoliticalsphere;mostoftheworkrefusedtohirefemalestaff,themajorityofwomencanonlyperformhouseholdchores;proportionofeducatedwomenisfarlowerthanthatofmen.她们不能投票,不能在政治上发声,大多数公司拒绝雇佣女性员工,以致大多数女人只能做一些家务琐事,而接受过教育的女性所占比例远低于那些女人。
Ethical,Southernwomenaremoreboundandrepressed.AccordingtoSoutherntradition,womenaretheincarnationofvirtue.道德上讲,南美女人要受到更多的约束和压抑,根据南美的传统,女人是贞操的化身
Theyarefullofcompassion,tolerance,patience,loyaltyobedience.Theyareboundinthemoralparadigmthrone,worshipedbyothers.她们充满着同情、宽容、耐心、忠诚顺从,她们束缚在榜样的王座上,被他人敬仰
Formarriedwomen,thesocietyhasgiventhemmorebondage.Forexample:
manystatesexpresslyprovidethatmarriedwomenhavenorighttosigncontracts,andcannotownproperty,cannotevendisposeoftheirownincome.对于结婚的女性,社会给了她们更多限制,比如说,很多国家明确规定结婚的女人没有权利签订合同,不能有她们自己的财产,甚至不能处理她们的收入
Whateverthereason,ifthecoupledivorce,thewifecannotgetcustodyofthechildren.Theperfectwifeshouldbesubmissive,gentle,pious,andthereforenotsuitableforthecomplexandvolatilepoliticalandbusiness,thebestchoiceisawife,mother.无论什么原因,如果一对夫妇离婚,妻子无法拥有对孩子的抚养权。
完美的妻子应该是顺从的、温柔的和尽责的,因此她们对于复杂和不稳定的政治和公司来说是不合适的,最好的选择是一个妻子、母亲
Fromthemid-19thcentury,Americansocietyhasexperiencedethnicconflicts,theCivilWar,theabolitionofslaveryandthehighlydevelopedcapitalisteconomy,people’sthinkinghasalsohappenedunprecedentedtransformation.十九世纪中期,美国社会经历了民族斗争、市民战争、奴隶制的废除还有资本主义经济的高度发展,人民的思想也得到了空前的转变
Thewomenbeganquestioningtraditionalpracticesimposedontheroleofawoman,issuedachallengetothevaluesofthepatriarchalsociety.女性开始质问传统社会对女性的定义,发起了一个对男权社会价值观的挑战
Northernwomenfirstbegantofightforequalrightstowork,education.Theybelievethatwomenandmenshouldbeequalaccesstopolitical,economic,religiousstatus,whichcompletelychangedtheideologicalbuiltinthemaledominatedsociety.南美女性第一次发起了对要求工作、受教育权利平等的斗争,她们认为女人和男人应该在政治、经济、宗教地位上平等,这些完全的改变了男权社会的思想意识形态
TheCivilWarandtheabolitionofslaverygreatlychangedpeople’sideology,thenortherngrowingfeministmovementgraduallypenetratedintothepoliticalandeconomicactivitiesintheSouth,Southernwomenalsobegantodemandworkandeducation.市民战争和奴隶制的废除很大影响了人民的思想,从南美发展起来的女权运动逐渐渗入到南美的政治经济活动中,南美的女人也开始对工作和教育有了需求
Theycalledforsocialreform,togetridoftheshacklesofwomen’sstereotypesinapatriarchalsociety,againsttherulesandprohibitionsimposedbysociety.Moreandmorewomenwithhighsocialstatusareknockingatthedoortothecareerwhichamanwhoonceruled.Womenbegantomoveoutoftheshadowoftheman,inallaspectsofsociallifeasanindependentindividual.她们呼吁社会改革,去摆脱在男权社会里对女性老套束缚的镣铐,反对社会强加于女性的规则和禁止。
更多有较高社会地位的女人敲开了曾经限制女人的事业之门。
女人开始摆脱女性的音乐,在社会生活的各方面成为独立的个体。
