A Historical Review of the Development of Women’s Higher Education in China (1908-2020): Stages, Explanations, and Trends

The development of women’s higher education in China can be divided into four stages:emergence(1908-1948);foundation(1949-1976);accelerating development(1977-2008);and the qualitative leap(2009-2020).This work considers the principal institutional mechanisms that contributed to this development.First,flexibly planned parenthood gradually promoted gender equality and openness in society facilitated by systematic“awards,grants,and loans”initiatives to support women’s higher education economically.Second,compulsory education ensured that left-out and migrant children had access to higher education.Third,effective connectivity across different education types bridged education gaps between those with different levels of education.Fourth,China made great efforts to invite and integrate international experiences that promoted the development of women’s higher education.Looking beyond these achievements,we also discuss the future trends of women’s higher education in China.

The Rise of Women’s Education and the Modernity of East Asia:Focusing on the Education of“Virtuous Wives and Worthy Mothers”in China and Japan

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan.Looking back on the past and forward to the future,we realize modernity has become a critical issue that not only China and Japan,but the whole East Asian region should pay attention to.China and Japan are both within the“Circle of Confucius Culture”and are both modern latecomer countries.As they were coerced by western countries to enter the modern age,they shared multiple common features.An exploration of the two countries’respective rising of modern women’s education is an important path to discuss the reconstruction of gender and an important method of the course of the embodiment of east-Asian women into modernization drives.With regards to conclusion,entering the modern age,Chinese and Japanese intellectuals reshaped the female gender in terms of interpersonal relationship,value system,and knowledge structure by advocating the idea of“virtuous wives and worthy mothers”education.In the concept of virtuous wives and worthy mothers in East Asia,the Confucian ethics of“docility and virtue”is the soul,and modern scientific knowledge serves this core value.On the other hand,in the course of localization in China and Japan,this imported concept from the West has encountered a completely different historical fate.

Women and the Transnational Dynamics of Science Education in Early Twentieth Century China:A Quiet Revolution

This article explores both the personal and transnational dimensions of domestic science education and study abroad for the pioneering generation of Chinese women in science.By focusing on women’s unique calculus of risk and reward,the article not only distinguishes Chinese women’s experiences from those of their male counterparts but also delineates the special contours of the Chinese case within the global advancement of women in science.The article begins by outlining some of the features and dynamics of early Chinese girls’schools that affected students’interest in and preparation for further scientific study.Then it traces the emerging college-level opportunities that made it possible for women who were studying science in China to contemplate advanced work overseas.Turning to study abroad,the article highlights the radicalness of the decision to study abroad by examining the impact of both family background and national circumstances on Chinese women’s strategies of mobility.The article argues that if we are to take women’s experiences seriously,we cannot just look at scientific pursuits in terms of achievements in the development of Chinese science,we also need to consider the ways that·scientific ambitions forced individuals—both male and female—to navigate and reimagine multiple social norms and expectations.

Korean New Women： Korean New Women＇s Fluctuation in International and Korean Contexts

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, ＂New Woman＂ was an international phenomenon. Although various national contexts contributed many different shades of meaning to the concept of ＂New Woman＂ in each country, New Women across the world shared common ground. In the 1920s, when American New Women experimented with their new identity, New Women in Korea also discovered a new sense of selfhood and confidence to make inroads into public spheres. Under Japan＇s colonial rule （1910-1945）, Korean women, valued as a national hidden reservoir, gained access to education and made attempts to remove traditional constraints. Despite different situations surrounding Korean and American New Women, their recognition, pursuit, and places in history echoed one another＇s. The bold and innovative nature of Korean New Women has attracted much academic as well as public attention. Most of the rich body of scholarship on this topic focuses on famous figures whose flamboyant defiance met a tragic end or on the sacrifices and failures of New Women＇s pursuit in confronting nationalism. The nation is an important and useful framework in history, but additional factors should be considered for a better understanding of New Women. Not only does this paper consider national context, it also pays much needed attention to an international connection in women＇s history.

How did women’s education and differential family planning policies shape transition to second and third births in historical China? New evidence from micro data

The influence of China’s family planning policies on fertility transition is widely acknowledged in research studies.However,little is known about how improve-ments in women’s education have shaped reproductive decisions of Chinese women across different family planning regimes,particularly at micro level.This study uses retrospective pooled birth history data from five consecutive population and fam-ily planning surveys collected over the period 1982-2006 to systematically examine the interrelationship between family planning policies and women’s education,and their interactive effect on the second and third birth transitions.We hypothesize that family planning policies had a differential influence on educational groups in reduc-ing the transition to second and third births.The results from discrete time com-plementary log-log survival models provide strong evidence of differential repro-ductive behavior of education groups across time in China,and the simultaneous influence of women’s education and family planning policies in lowering risks to higher parities.The rates of progression to second and third births tend to be lower after the introduction of rigid family planning policies,and more importantly,the policy impact persisted even after adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic factors.The increase in women’s education overall had a depressing effect on transi-tion to higher parities,and family planning policies implemented overtime have had differential effects on women from different educational groups.The findings show that both family planning policies and women’s education have been instrumental in shaping fertility behavior in China.

上海市40~60岁社区妇女保健门诊患者骨质疏松症的认知状况及对预防服务需求的影响

目的了解上海市40~60岁社区妇女保健门诊患者骨质疏松症知识掌握情况、相关服务需求与利用状况,为进一步完善围绝经期妇女骨健康的预防策略提供依据。方法2022年10月—2023年4月,在上海市10家社区卫生服务中心妇女保健门诊就诊的40~60岁患者人群中开展骨质疏松症知识评价、服务需求与利用的问卷调查。结果1278名40~60岁社区妇女保健门诊患者骨质疏松症的知识问卷总知识得分的不及格率为73.00%。不同类别知识的不及格率从高到低排序,依次是危险因素(75.98%)、运动知识(71.83%)和钙知识(31.77%)。经卡方检验,三类知识的不及格率、及格率和良好率的差异有统计学意义(χ^(2)=655.83,P<0.001)。不同年龄组、文化程度、工作情况、月收入的妇女的骨质疏松症知识得分差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。文化程度越低,月收入越低,知识得分越低;在岗妇女的知识得分更高,无业妇女的知识得分较低。排在前2位的骨质疏松症防治服务项目为“40岁以上妇女体检要增加骨密度检测项目”(81.14%)和“社区定期开展骨质疏松症的筛查”(77.70%)。logistic回归分析结果显示,与三类知识均及格的妇女相比至少一类(OR值为1.714,95%CI为1.068~2.751)或两类(OR值为1.603,95%CI为1.043~2.545)知识不及格的女性未做过骨密度检测的可能性更高。结论在上海市严峻的人口老龄化背景下,应关注骨健康知识薄弱环节,关注低学历、低收入、无职业的围绝经期妇女等重点人群,在围绝经期妇女保健服务中纳入骨质疏松症的健康教育、早期风险识别的预防措施,充分发挥基层妇女卫生保健服务的存量资源作用。

西方大学男女同校制的开端与意义

1837年,美国中西部俄亥俄州的奥柏林学院首次招收了四名女生,标志着西方传统大学之门向妇女开放。但是从严格意义上而言,高等教育即便是在男女同校的体制下,却仍然长期实行男女隔离的教育。西方社会男尊女卑的宗教传统以及当时生物学上的某些谬论的误导是阻碍西方大学实施男女同校制教育的主导原因,但是随着西方社会风气的不断开化以及其它的经济、政治等因素的作用,女性进入传统大学和男性接受同等的高等教育的现实条件不断成熟,历史的潮流必将还女性包括受教育权利在内的一切平等的社会权利。
