During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the earl! histor! of the newl! formed Gnited %tates. +ac"ing the right tovote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in histor!. AnneBradstreet wrote some significant poetr! in the seventeenth centur!, &erc! Otis (arren produced the bestcontemporar' histor! of the American 8evolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing shee*ercised great political influence over her husband, ohn, the second $resident of the Gnited %tates. But little or no notice was ta"en of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in histor! boo"s.

Throughout the nineteenth centur!, this lac" of visibilit! continued, despite the efforts of female authorswriting about women. These writers, li"e most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writingswere ceebrator' in nature, and the' were uncritical in their selection and use of sources. During the nineteenth centur!, however, certain feminists showed a "een sense of histor! b! "eepingrecords of activities in which women were engaged. 2ational, regional, and local women’s organiations compiledaccounts of their doings. $ersonal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored.These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s histor! in the Gnited %tates one at the

2



4liabeth and Arthur %chlesinger +ibrar! at 8adcliffe College, and the other the %ophia %mith Collection at %mithCollege. %uch sources have provided valuable materials for later enerations of historians.

Despite the gathering of more information about ordinar! women during the nineteenth Centur!, most of thewriting about women conformed to the 'great women) theor! of #istor!, 7ust as much of mainstream Americanhistor! concentrated on 'great men.) To demonstrate that women were ma"ing significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important womenproduced their autobiographies. &ost of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists wor"ingfor women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinar! woman. The livesof ordinar! people continued, generall!, to be untold in the American histories being published.Question "#: (hat does the passage mainl! discuss5

/ead the following (assage and )ark the letter A, B , C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the question s fro) ## to $" .Television has transformed politics in the Gnited %tates b! changing the wa! in which information isdisseminated, b! altering political campaigns, and b! changing citienJs patterns of response to politics. B!giving citiens independent access to the candidates, television diminished the role of the political part! in theselection of the ma7or part! candidates. B! centering politics on the person of the candidate, televisionacceerated the citienJs focus on character rather than issues.

Television has altered the forms of political communication as well. The messages on which most of us rel!are briefer than the! once were. The stump speech, a political speech given b! traveling politicians and lasting :/to hours, which characteried nineteenthHcentur! political discourse, has given #a' to the :Hsecondadvertisement and the second Ksound biteK in broadcast news. ncreasingl! the audience for speeches is notthat standing in front of the politician but rather the viewing audience who will hear and see a snippet of thespeech on the news.

n these abbreviated forms, much of what constituted the traditional political discourse of earlier ages hasbeen lost. n E or : seconds, a spea"er cannot establish the historical conte*t that shaped the issue in3uestion, cannot detail the probable causes of the problem, and cannot e*amine alternative proposals to arguethat one is preferable to others. n snippets, politicians assert but do not argue.

Because television is an intimate medium, spea"ing through it re3uire a changed political st!le that wasmore conversational, personal, and visual than that of the old st!le stump speech. Reiance on television meansthat increasingl! our political world contains memorable pictures rather than memorable words. %chools teach usto anal!e words and print. #owever, in a word in which politics is increasingl! visual, informed citienshipre3uires a new set of s"ills.

8ecogniing the power of televisionJs pictures, politicians craft televisual, staged events, called pseudoHevent, designed to attract media coverage. &uch of the political activit! we see on television news has beencrafted b! politicians, their speechwriters, and their public relations advisers for televised consumption. %oundbites in news and answers to 3uestions in debates increasingl! sound li"e advertisements.Question ##: (hat is the main point of the passage5

A. Citiens in the Gnited %tates are now more informed about political issues because of televisioncoverage.

B. Citiens in the Gnited %tates prefer to see politicians on television instead of in person.C. $olitics in the Gnited %tates has become substantiall! more controversial since the introduction of
