启蒙与被启蒙:《妇女杂志》中的女性

Enlightening and Being Enlightened——Females in The Women Journal

中国近现代启蒙是一种伦理启蒙,因为其目标在于批判建构于家庭权威之上的纲常礼教,其中,女性扮演着重要角色。《妇女杂志》内容和精神旨趣的变化展示了二十世纪初女性从受启蒙者到启蒙者的转变。但是,这个时期的女性还处于不成熟状态。究其原因,一方面是民族救亡压倒启蒙的社会情境的限制,另一方面则是启蒙目标的误置,致力于平等而不是自主的女性启蒙将使女性始终处于男权的樊篱之中。

Modem enlightenment in China is a kind of ethical enlightenment, for its aim is to repudiate feudal ethical code based on the authority of family in which females played an important part. The change of the content and spirit of The Women＇Journal showed the transition of female identity from being enlightened to the torchbearer. However, females are still immature. The reasons are the restriction of the social context that enlightenment is over- whelmed by saving the nation from extinction and the mistakenly established aim. Female＇s enlightenment aiming for gender equality other than female＇s autonomy will always put females in the bound of male hegemony.
