二、 Not long ago, a group of writers decided to publish a book of essays we called:"Feminism Made Me Happy." It was an in-your-face title, a deliberate attempt to counterthe narrative we all knew by heart. The one that kept describing how the women'smovement had left us stressed out, discontented, wrenched from home, hearth andmotherhood to struggle and fail at doing it all.         Now I think we are due for another one because we are in the midst of another dustupover research published under the (too) provocative headline: "The Paradox ofDeclining Female Happiness." Going forward to the past won't bring a grin to our lips.Happiness is a pretty elusive state and an even more elusive research subject.     Feminism made me happy? Not, I assure you in a permanent state of good cheer. Itopened doors. It opened our eyes — to everything including what still needs to be done.The women's movement never promised us a rose garden or a warm bath of contentment.It offered a new way to understand the world, a lens on injustice and a tool to use in thepursuit of happiness. It's a work in progress.（25 分）
