Do you have the sentences straight? I'm just wondering whether you have confused the next to last sentence with the lastone.
MartyMurray Thanks for the kind response. No, I am not confusedthere.

Thus, we have a contrast between the two parts of the sentence: her optimistic assessment of "achievements" is contrasted with her stress on "social obstacles," in other words a stress onissues.
if above is the case, then the last line which also includes "but in her sober and thoughtful concluding remarks, she suggests that such verbalopposition to cultural stereotypes was highly circumscribed; women seldom attacked the basic assumptions in the ideologies that oppressed them." is primarily supporting the whole previous sentence and not just 'cautiously optimistic assessment'.
I think I am not wrong to assume that "such verbal opposition" in the last sentence is referring to “oppositional voices.” in the previous sentence.
Pls correct
