近代上海女医群体的形成——以社会网络为视角的考察

The Community of Women Doctors Took Shape in Social Network

在近代上海的众多职业女性中,女医数量虽少,却因其现代科学执行人的身份受到瞩目。女医的养成首先得益于女子医学教育的开展,民国以后,开业女医的数量不断增多。上海是近代中国女医教育、开业最为重要的集聚地之一,各类女医活跃于此。她们通过亲朋挚友、医生同僚等社会关系,采取合作开业策略,游走于各类医疗机构与组织之间,建构自己的执业网络。共同的医学教育经历与背景,使女医与其他医者之间的联合成为可能;而家庭或同乡关系,亦在女医确立职业志向、拓展医疗业务等方面扮演重要角色。

The modern medical education for women laid the foundation of the Community. Shanghai was undoubtedly the center in which women doctors were educated and worked. The Shanghai-based women doctors formed their own social network. Multiple factors such as common education,profession and countryship played a role in shaping the network.
