丈夫日記中的妻子與情人－以楊水心、林玉盞、李招治為例

目前臺灣人寫的日記，已出版或正在出版中的有數十種，但女性記主的日記仍屬少數。不過，男性記主在寫日記時都會紀錄他們生活周遭的女性，特別是他們身邊最親近的妻子與情人，在此情形下，有些平凡的主婦因此得以在歷史上留名，因此男性日記也是研究婦女史的重要資料。舉例而言，林獻堂的妻子楊水心，出生彰化名門，曾受私塾教育，平日行動自如，且活躍於中部婦女團體；黃旺成的妻子林玉盞，來自新竹郊商家庭，但未受教育，為一家庭主婦；黃旺成的情人李招治則是具備專業技能的產婆，可獨立謀生，並對愛情擁有自主權，前述女性的事蹟均因男性日記的記載而得以留存。不過，男性記主所書寫的妻子形象，會隨著他們個人女性觀之不同而有所差異，本文主角林獻堂與黃旺成筆下的妻子乃呈現出不同風貌。雖然林獻堂為傳統漢學教育出身，黃旺成為新知識分子，但其女性觀的進步與否與其教育背景並無絕對的關係。此外，男性記主書寫日記時，難免會因自身的主觀或成見，對於身旁的妻子有不當的描述，是以在閱讀這些非由女性自己發聲的資料時，應當謹慎小心，以免被誤導。

The purpose of this article is to identify the images of females described in the diaries of several Taiwanese celebrities during the Japanese colonial period. Not many women at that time left their own written materials. However, the male authors usually included depiction of females around them in their diaries, especially their significant others-wives or mistresses. What the gentry recorded their wives and mistresses in their diaries provides a closer look at the lives of their wives and mistresses and has become a proper material for studying women in the period. A document analysis was adopted for the study to learn about three females-Yang Hsui-hsin, the wife of Lin Hsien-tang, Lin Yu-zhan, the wife of Huang Wang-cheng, and Li Zhao-zhi, the mistress of Huang Wang-cheng. The paper used the diaries of Lin Hsien-tang and Huang Wang-cheng as the main historical materials to discuss these women who had played important roles in their lives. So that we can get a glimpse of the lives of the women in the gentry society. The results revealed three different life styles of women-- how Yang Hsui-hsin was active in women's groups in central Taiwan, how Lin Yu-zhan dealt with her humble lifestyle of traditional women and added some fun to her ordinary life, and the maverick style of Li Zhao-zhi as a woman in the ＂new era.＂ Studying women depicted in diaries helps readers understand the situation women were in during a particular era. However, it is inevitable that a male author might improperly describe the women around him due to his own subjectivity or prejudice when keeping a diary. Therefore, readers should be cautious when reading materials not written by women themselves to avoid being misled.
