What was the textual discourse about women's education like from 1898-1925 in China?

Bachelor thesis | Chinastudies (BA)
The textual discourse on women's education between 1989 and 1925 in China went through major changes. First of all women's magazines became a new genre within the textual discourse. Many trailblazers, for instance Xue Shaohui, Liang Qiachao and others helped set up girl's schools. The definition of the “New Woman” changed from meaning educated to become a better wife and mother to educated and cosmopolitan for one's own sake. By using three case studies, I show how in the New Culture era female education became more important as well as more widespread. These case studies show how important female education was to the textual discourse and suggest that the textual discourse helped to educate women during 1989-1925 in China.
