臺灣省新運婦女工作委員會與戰後初期臺灣婦女工作

臺灣省新運婦女工作委員會成立於1946年12月，結束於1950年7月，前後雖然不到四年的時間，但是，在當時不僅與稍早成立的臺灣省婦女會並列為臺灣兩大婦女組織，甚至在二二八事件後凌駕於臺灣省婦女會之上，儼然成為當時臺灣婦女工作的領導中心。其後，由於時局逆轉，國民政府倉促遷臺，婦女指導委員會的指導長宋美齡於1950年4月成立中華婦女反共抗俄聯合會，數月後，婦女工作委員會改組為婦聯會臺北市分會，直屬婦聯會總會管轄，結束了原先領導臺灣婦女工作的身分與使命。本文擬以《臺灣新生報》、《民報》、《人民導報》等報刊為主要材料，嘗試從該會籌備經過、組織人事及工作概況等方面，勾勒出婦女工作委員會的原貌，並探討婦女工作委員會於戰後初期在臺灣所推行的婦女工作概況。

並列摘要

Taiwan Provincial New Women's Liberation Committee (TPNWLC) was founded in December, 1946 but it came to an end in July 1950. The organization lasted less than 4 years, though. But at that time, it was the top two women's movement organizations in Taiwan with the other one being Taiwan Provincial Women's Association (TPWA), which had been founded earlier. After the 228 incident, TPNWLC played a more important role than TPWA, and became a leading unit in women's liberation movement in Taiwan. Later, since the Communist Party took up Mainland China, the National Government was enforced to migrate to Taiwan. At that time, Mayling Soong (宋美齡), director of Women's Guidance Committee, helped to establish Chinese Women's Anti-Communist and Against- Russian Association in April 1950. Months later, TPNWLC was renamed as a branch association of WA-located in Taipei and took direct guidance from WA-thus giving up the previous identity and mission in leading women's movement in Taiwan. This paper adopts data from ”Taiwan Xinsheng News,” ”People's News” and ”People's Guide News,” trying to describe a whole picture of the TPNWLC: how the organization is prepared, what is the organization chart of the unit and what mission the organization tries to achieve. The paper also covers what TPNWLC, during the first few years after the war, has done to promote women's movement in the island of Taiwan.
