＂Woman's Messenger Magazine＂ was first founded in 1912 and published 412 volumes before the magazine ended in 1951. It is described as the oldest women's magazine in the modern Chinese history. Unlike other Christian magazines (such as the ＂Wen-She Monthly＂ 文社月刊), which published religious novels on the church life or revisions of the stories from the Holy Scripture, the ＂Woman's Messenger Magazine＂ was published not only to concern all sorts of issues of Chinese women in the Christian community, but also to include fictions regarding a variety of female roles in the society. In 1935-1939, the magazine published three ＂Short Stories for Young People (女鐸小說集)＂. The editors of the ＂Short Stories for Young People＂ are all women; the major roles in the stories are also women to attract a larger female readership. The content of the stories is suitable for the general public readers, so the publication might want to have an impact on the general readers rather than for the Christians specifically. In other words, ＂Short Stories for Young People＂ might intend to create a space for social dialogue, and as the public have known that they were Christian publications, in the 1930s, these copies were more representative of the women's issues than any other Christian publications.
