Mankey,

The answer is infact E. This question is from the Brutal SC 70 list. The moment we spot the conjunction "than" we immediately know that "than" is the parallel marker and the elements to the left and right side of "than" have to be grammatically and logically parallel. Since "that" is present in the beginning, in order to ensure parallelism we need "that" after "than".

Hope this helps.

A. her being a woman (not parallel)
B. being a woman is (not parallel)
C. her womanhood (not parallel)
D. that she was a woman (the statement is stating a fact, "was" usage is incorrect)
E. that she is a woman
