　　P5

　　Influenced by the view of some twentieth-century feminists that women's position within the family is one of the central factors determining women's social position, some historians have underestimated the significance of the woman suffrage movement. These historians contend that nineteenth-century suffragism was less radical and, hence, less important than, for example, the moral reform movement or domestic feminism - two nineteenth-century movements in which women struggled for more power and autonomy within the family. True, by emphasizing these struggles, such historians have broadened the conventional view of nineteenth-century feminism, but they do a historical disservice to suffragism. Nineteenth-century feminists and anti-feminist alike perceived the suffragists' demand for enfranchisement as the most radical element in women's protest, in part because suffragists were demanding power that was not based on the institution of the family, women's traditional sphere.

　　Influenced by the view of some twentieth-century feminists that women's position within the family is one of the central factors determining women's social position, some historians have underestimated the significance of the woman suffrage movement.

　　一些二十世紀(jì)女權(quán)主義者認(rèn)為，女人的家庭地位是決定其社會(huì)地位的一個(gè)核心要素，一些歷史學(xué)者受此影響，低估了女性選舉權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)的重要意義。

　　These historians contend that nineteenth-century suffragism was less radical and, hence, less important than, for example, the moral reform movement or domestic feminism - two nineteenth-century movements in which women struggled for more power and autonomy within the family.

　　這些歷史學(xué)家聲稱，十九世紀(jì)的選舉權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)，不如 比方說道德改革運(yùn)動(dòng)，或家庭女權(quán)主義徹底，所以也不如 后二者重要 —— 它們都是女性在家庭內(nèi)部爭(zhēng)取更多權(quán)力和自主的十九世紀(jì)運(yùn)動(dòng)。

　　(查不到 suffragism 這個(gè)詞的解釋，但在維基百科中 suffragism 被重定位到 suffrage 條目，所以我在翻譯中也做了這樣的替換。)

　　十九世紀(jì)的女權(quán)主義者和反女權(quán)主義者都認(rèn)為，主張女性參政的人要求女性獲得平等選舉權(quán)，是婦女抗議的最根本元素，部分是因?yàn)樘岢鲞@種主張的人，要求的是一種不基于家庭制度的權(quán)利，而家庭是婦女傳統(tǒng)的活動(dòng)范圍。
