Passage 30 不是我恨嫁，而是我要嫁给爱情
★★
①Feminist scholars have tended to regard women in the nineteenth-century United States who elected to remain single as champions of women’s autonomy and as critics of marriage as an oppressive institution. ②Indeed, many nineteenth-century American women who participated in reform movements or who distinguished themselves as writers and professionals were single. ③Yet this view of single women tends to distort the meaning of their choices. ④The nineteenth century saw the elevation of marriage for love as a spiritual ideal. ⑤Consequently, it became socially acceptable for women not to marry if such an ideal marriage could not be realized with an available suitor. ⑥Thus, many women’s choice to remain single reflected not a negative view of marriage but a highly idealistic one.
