Passage6 Two works published in 1984 demonstrate contrasting approaches to writing the history of United States women. //（第一层：文章主旨句，点明中心思想，表明本文将比较二部作品的写作手法）Buel and Buel’s（出现人物名，注意） biography of Mary Fish (1736-1818) makes little effort （负评价词）to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, （出现人物名，注意） meanwhile（结构词，后引出与Buel and Buel’s写法的不同）, 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 on the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century(注意，与18世纪对比）//（第二层：对比BuelLebsock 写作方式的不同，注意作者态度倾向于Lebsock）Although（结构词，表让步） both books offer the reader the opportunity to assess this controversy regarding women’s status, only（表转折） Lebsock’s deals with it directly（正评价词）. She examines several different aspects of women’s status, helping to refine and resolve the issues. She concludes（表观点的动词，后一般引出人物观点） 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（表递进）, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference: in many respects, women lost power in relation to men, for example（第一遍读文时可略读）, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men. Yet（结构词，表转折） women also gained power in comparison with their previous status, owning a higher proportion of real estate, for example.（举例 第一遍读文时可略读） In contrast（结构短语，表对比）, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians（插入语，可略读）, 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.//（第三层：二位作者都涉及女性地位的争议，但具体描述Lebsock如何直接探讨这一争议；并简述Buel 写作手法的瑕疵） 逻辑简图： 第一层：文章主旨句，点明中心思想，表明本文将比较二部作品的写作手法 对比BuelLebsock 写作方式的不同，注意作者态度倾向于Lebsock 二位作者都涉及女性地位的争议，但具体描述Lebsock如何直接探讨这一争议；并简述Buel 写作手法的瑕疵 The primary pu
