摘要

本研究採心理傳記學方法，援引性別與文化的觀點，作為研究者理解的視框，針對凌叔華的生命進行探究，她生於北京仕宦之家，一夫多妻制的家庭，母親身為妾的地位。在男尊女卑的家庭中，凌叔華從母親的歎息聲中漸漸感受到作為女性的自卑，凌叔華從書籍《鏡花緣》中埋下夢想，她想女扮男裝去趕考，夢想參加科舉考試。現代教育使她走出閨閣，走入現代，她以犀利的思維及自身獨特的經歷，從小說中呈現出女性，在父權宗法下主體被邊緣化的命運。本研究試圖從凌淑華生命經驗，探索其性別意識的覺醒與實踐，並瞭解處於新舊時代交替下女性的掙扎與困境，期望對當時社會文化處境的女性心理，有更豐富的認識，也期待對我們現代女性具有啟發作用。

This psychobiographical study investigated the life of a renowned author, Lin Shu-Hwa, using gender and culture as the epistemological lenses. Born in 1900 to a gentry family in Beijing, Lin Shu-Hwa was the daughter of the third wife of a high-ranking Qing official. Growing up hearing her mother's endless sighs in a family where men were superior to women, Lin Shu-Hwa realized how women's worth was affected by their culture. Inspired by the ancient fantasy novel, Flowers in the Mirror, she planted the seed of pursuing a dream to attend the Imperial Examination as her father did. The modern education empowered Lin Shu-Hwa to leave her chamber and strike into modern society. With her distinct sharpness, insightfulness, and unique personal experiences, she gave prominence to the destiny of the marginalization of the subjectivity of the female characters in her novels under the rule of Chinese paternalism. Using Lin Shu-Hwa's life stories and biography as an exemplar, the current study aimed to explore and depict the awakening process and practices of gender consciousness, as well as the struggles of women in a time of transition from traditionality to modernity. The author hoped to enrich our understanding of women and their situatedness by placing Lin Shu- Hwa's life experience in the historical and sociocultural context of her era, and looks forward to enlightening modern women.
