LSAT 35 Explanations

RC Passage 1 Explanation, by LSATHacks

This is an explanation for passage 1 of LSAT preptest 35, the October 2001 LSAT. This passage is about women’s memoirs from the French Revolution. Some historians question the accuracy of these memoirs, but other scholars disagree.

This section has paragraph summaries and an analysis of the passage, links to the explanations for the questions are below.

Paragraph Summaries

  1. Few women wrote memoirs of the French Revolution. Those who did were upper class. This was for social and political reasons. 
  2. Were the memoirs accurate? For objective events, we can compare memoirs. For subjective, personal events, we must look to other factors.
  3. Bertholet studied the memoirs. While many women conformed to female roles, other showed individual acts of feminism.

Analysis

This passage is a neutral summary of some information about women who wrote about the French Revolution. The passage seems to favor the perspective of women who supported the revolution or who wrote from a feminist perspective. However, the author doesn’t openly give their point of view.
