听力原文: Elizabeth was born in England in 1821, and she went to New York City and settled down there when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters seeking admission to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. So determined was she that she taught in school and gave music lessons to earn money for her education.
In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection forced her to give up the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. In 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital, she also established the first medical school for women.

As early as 1907, Whitney organized an exhibition of contemporary art in the United States for the Colony Club, a women's club in New York City of which she was a founding member. The following year she purchased four of the seven paintings sold from the landmark exhibition of "The Eight" at the Macbeth Galleries. She contributed funds to the Armory Show of 1913, and for many years paid her deficit of the society of Independent Artists, founded in 1917.
In 1914, Whitney converted a townhouse into a small gallery known as the Whitney Studio, which featured regular exhibitions of the work of artists from the United States. In 1918, she established the Whitney Studio Club: any artist introduced by a member could join the club, where annual exhibitions gave members a rare opportunity to present their works to the public without first submitting them to a jury.
She aided artists in numerous other ways--sending them abroad to study, paying their hospital bills and studio rents, and most important, purchasing their works.
By 1929, Whitney owned more than five hundred works by artists from the United States, and she felt the public should have an opportunity to see the collection. That year she offered the collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, whose director refused her offer before she even had a chance to express her intention to build and endow a Whitney wing. This abrupt rejection only served to challenge Whitney, who announced in January 1930 that she would establish her own museum with a new and dramatically different mandate--to support artists from the United States.
What is the main topic of the passage?
A.Art movements in the twentieth century.
B.The hardship of twentieth-century artists in the United States.
C.The commitment of Whitney to artists from the United States.
