How Vaginal Infections Impact Women’s Everyday Life <br/>—Women’s Lived Experiences of Bacterial Vaginosis and Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Reoccurring symptoms and persistent problems that continue post treatment can be characteristic of the vaginal infections Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) and recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC). The purpose of this study was to describe women’s life experiences in managing the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis and Candida. Sixteen women were recruited and participated in an interview study when they contacted a Swedish gynecology clinic with vaginal complaints that ranged from and included abnormal discharge, irritation itching along with serious malodor. An interpretive phenomenological approach was used with an individual interview to get a more intimate understanding of the women experiencing these problems. The finding of this study shows that managing the recurrent symptoms of the infections remains to be a challenge for women as it has a clearly negative impact on the quality of their lives. Four themes developed: frustration and mood disorders, intimacy changes in the relationship, exposure, hope and relief. The women had high hopes of eliminating the symptoms within the six-month study period. The treatment program, with its well-developed guidelines and continuity of care within the context of the study greatly improved the quality of life of these women. Women had feelings of frustration and anxiety when nothing could cure their problem while they had also a great hope to get rid of the symptoms with a long striking treatment. Well-developed guidelines and continuity of care can help these women to have an improved quality of life.

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.

Achievements and Challenges： A Review of Chinese Literature on Gender and Women＇s Studies from 2001 to 2008

This article explores Women＇s Studies through a review Database in the period 2001-2008, recent Chinese research on Gender and of the China Academic Journals Full-Text summarizing, classifying and evaluating the main areas of focus with which Chinese scholars have been concerned. The first part is concerned with Gender and Women＇s Studies of a distinctively Chinese character. Current Chinese social structure contains the binary framework： rural and urban. P, ural women＇s situations are being greatly changed since male laborers went in large numbers to work in the cities and have caused great concern among scholars. To build a ＂Harmomous Society,＂ more attention has been paid to the study of gender and ethnic equality. Scholars have analyzed and discussed the remaining gender and ethnic inequalities existent in the actual society. The second part is women＇s lives in literary history, which were usually darkened by textual silence, despite China＇s rich ancient literature. To reinterpret Chinese traditional literature, discovering women＇s history and listening to women＇s voices has also become a major undertaking. The third part of the article summarizes the Chinese scholars＇ dilemma. On one hand, scholars have benefited from the rise of Western feminist theories; on the other hand, they are also disturbed that China＇s Women＇s Studies have been marginalized by such a strong Western feminist discourse. Chinese scholars have been trying to develop indigenous knowledge and to create a theoretical system with its focus on Chinese women, thereby breaking through the stereotype of the West versus the East or the center versus the periphery, and to communicate equally with Western scholars.
