20世纪前半叶中国三种妇女运动观述评

在中国近代史上,由于妇女运动者对中国国情认识不同,产生了三种不同的妇女运动观。女权主义者主张通过妇女参政的途径来实现女权;中国共产党重视民族、国家的独立、封建制度的推翻在妇女运动方面的基础性作用,因此主张把妇女运动纳入到反帝反封建的政治运动之中;基督教女青年会则认为妇女运动应致力于提高妇女自身的素质、增强妇女的社会参与能力。尽管三种观点各有其优长与缺失,但基督教女青年会以提高妇女素质为中心的妇女运动观更符合现代妇女运动的真正意蕴,女青年会在中国妇女运动史上尘封已久的意义,应该得到人们新的认识。

A Description and Evaluation of Three Outlooks on Women Movements in the First Half of 20th Century

Owing to die different understanding of the Chinese conditions, women activists in modern Chinese history came up with three deferent outlooks on women movements. Feminists advocated dial women should obtain dieir rights by participating in politics. Communist Party of China, attaching great importance to the national independence and the primary influence of overthrowing the feudalism on women's movement, would like to incorporate women movement into the political movement fighting against capitalism and feudalism. The Christen young women league stressed that women movement should revolve around the improvement of women's qualities, strengthening their abilities of social participation. Although each of the three has their merits and shortcomings, the Christen young women league's advocates coincide with the core requirement of modern women movement. Young women league's influence on Chinese women movement, which was ignored for many years, should attain our fresh attention.
