摘要

本文探討自辛亥革命後十數年中，基督教女青年會如何利用女青年會的體育師範學校來推動中國的女青年會事業。作爲現代教育機構，這些女子師範學校由女性管理，並對女青年作職業培訓。作者認爲基督教女青年會的領袖們基於現實的考慮，利用師範學校的形式以確保教會學校的地位和贏得中國教育改革者的承認，並得以參與有關婦女的公共事務。同時，師範學校的目的也在于激勵那些想要爲國家建設做貢獻的中國婦女和那些想要「走向社會」的新婦女。

This article examines how the Young Women's Christian Association (基督教女青年會) used the YWCA Normal School of Hygiene and Physical Education (體育師範學校) to advance the YWCA movement in China in the decade and a half after the 1911 revolution. The Normal School was a modern educational institution, run by women that provided girls with professional training. It argues that while the YWCA leadership pragmatically used the school to secure a place in the missionary community, gain recognition from reform-minded Chinese educators and participate in the emerging public world of Chinese women. The Normal School also served the goals and aspirations of Chinese women who wished to contribute to China's state building project but also ”go public” as new women of China.
