This question focuses on the author’s reason for mentioning Krontiris’s work. The passage states that Krontiris, in her discussion of six Renaissance women writers, is an example of scholars who are optimistic about women’s achievements but also suggest that these

women faced significant obstacles. She is a writer who, in other words, agrees with neither Kelly’s negative views nor Burckhardt’s positive approach.

A. The passage indicates that Krontiris uses the Renaissance women writers’ works as historical evidence, not that she offered any criticism of the works themselves.

B. Krontiris’s work, according to the author, is cautiously optimistic about women’s achievements during the Renaissance. This contradicts Kelly’s view that the status of women declined during this time.

C. The author suggests that Krontiris may have erred in taking her six subjects as representative of all women during the Renaissance, not that she made any misinterpretations of their actual writing.

D. Correct. The author uses Krontiris as an example of those feminist scholars who have rejected the overgeneralized approaches of both Kelly and Burckhardt.

E. The author makes clear that Krontiris’s study focuses on literate Renaissance women, who constituted a small minority.
