民国时期女校长的主体言说与无声抗议——以湖南《大公报》的报道为中心

Female President's Subject Expression and Silent Protest in Republic of China:Focusing on the Reort in Dagong Newspaper in Hunan Province

1922年省立三女师校长欧阳骏和省立一女师校长童锡帧相继被湖南《大公报》推上舆论前台,成为受众注目的中心,尤其是"省立一女师学科不完全"问题披露后,引发知识界精英男性长达1个月余的联手围攻。梳理此期发表的相关报道,发现她俩应对策略迥异,前者采攻势,后者采守势,相映成趣;将两事件置于湖南特定的历史境遇下考量,可解读出女校长成为报道中心的原因所在,进而了解民国时期职业女性面临的尴尬处境及背后渗透的社会性别权力博弈。

OuyangJun, female president of the third provincial women school, andTong Xizheng, female president of the first provincial women school, were pushed successively by the Hunan Dagong newspaper to the cusp of public opinions and became the focus of the public concern in 1922, even suffering more than one-month attack from elite males especially after the problem of incomplete subjects was disclosed in the first provincial women school. Through analyzing those related reports published at that time, the present paper finds it interesting that the two female presidents had different strategies to cope with the problem, the former taking an offensive one while the latter taking a defensive one. Considering the two things in the specific historical context in Hunan, we can see why two female presidents became the focus of the report and further understand the embarrassing situation those professional women in Republic of China and the gender power game behind.
