These questions are political in the sense that the debate over them will inevitably be less an exploration of abstract matters in a spirit of disinterested inquiry than an academic power struggle in which the careers and professional fortunes of many women scholars -only now entering the academic profession in substantial numbers -will be at stake , and with them the chances for a distinctive contribution to humanistic understanding, a contribution that might be an important influence against sexism in our society.

主干: These questions   are   political

翻译: 这些问题之所以带有政治性质, 因为可避免地, 围绕这些问题展开的急诊与其说是一种在客观冷静科研精神指导下对抽象问题的探索, 倒不如说是一种学术上的权力斗争。在此斗争中, 许多女学者中——只是在现在才开始以众多的人数进入学术界——的学术生涯和职业命运将处于存亡攸关的危急关头, 与她们相伴随的是对人文理解作出一种独特贡献的机遇, 这一贡献则很有可能成为消除我们社会中所存在的性别主义的一股重要影响。
