《妇女杂志》中的科学家形象分析

Research on the Images of Scientists in The Ladies’Journal

《妇女杂志》作为1915—1931年畅销海内外的综合性期刊,内容整合了家事、医疗卫生、女性解放等多方面的内容,文章将重点关注其中介绍科技工作者生平的部分。该刊物作为女性期刊,不仅刊载有坚持独身及平衡家庭和科研的女性科学家,又涵盖了为数众多的男性科学家,对他们的描述虽有外貌上的差异,但又在勤勉、细心观察、淡泊名利等科研品格上具备相似之处。这表现出《妇女杂志》中占主导地位的男性编著者们既宣传女性可以从事有限的科学事业,又无法掩盖其对近代中国女性整体形象的固有之见,进而折射出科学家并非多数女性所追求的职业这一历史现实。

The Ladies’Journal was a comprehensive journal sold at home and abroad from 1915 to 1931.Its content integrated many aspects such as family affairs,medical care,and women’s liberation.This article focuses on the part of the life of scientists.As a female publication,the journal not only published female scientists who adhered to celibacy and balanced family and scientific research,but also covered a large number of male scientists.Although they had different appearances,they were diligent,careful observation,and indifferent to fame and fortune,which were similarities in research characters.This shows that the male authors in The Ladies’Journal both promote women’s limited scientific careers and can’t hide their inherent views on the overall image of modern Chinese women,which further reflects the historical reality that the career of scientist is not the profession pursued by most women.
