清末民初女權思想的蒙發,是在特定的動態時空環境中所產生;除了廢纏足運動之外,透過「興女學」此一「中式解方」,喚醒及提升「國民之母」的質量與地位,便是當時中國知識男性「救亡圖存」總目標下的愛國主義敘事架構。而中山先生所引領的國民革命,可謂開啟中國女性政治參與的新猷;辛亥革命成功後,諸多女性團體莫不寄望國體與政體轉換之際,能順利將其身分由女國民過渡到女公民之上,並將此希望置於中山先生身上。然而國家體制雖已經改變,但在人權─民權─公民權的身份轉換與爭取過程中,尚受到諸多父權體制的牽引與羈絆,女性要在短期間內取得參與政治系統的運作權利,自然困難重重。與此相對,女性團體的動員能量與政治份量是否能夠持續強化,用以對抗體制、改變體制,甚至帶動體制的改變,方是成就日後女性參政之路的重要基石。當然掌握黨、政運作權力的男性官僚,民間輿情和社會的認同與支持亦是關鍵。
The late Qing and early Republic era saw the emergence of women’s rights ideology, spurred by the specific dynamic spatial and temporal environment. In addition to the campaign to outlaw foot binding, the Chinese-style solution of promoting women’s literacy was used to improve and elevate the value and status of the “mothers of the nation”. This served as the narrative framework for patriotism under the overarching goal of Chinese male intellectuals at the time: saving the nation from subjugation and ensuring its survival. One could argue that the National Revolution spearheaded by Dr. Sun Yat-sen ushered in a new era for women’s political participation in China. Following the successful Xinhai Revolution, during the transition of the state and political systems, many women’s groups entrusted Dr. Sun Yat-sen with their hope of successfully navigating the shift from female nationals to female citizens. However, although the national system had changed, the process of transforming identity and striving for civil rights, human rights, and citizenship was still extensively propelled and constrained by the patriarchal system. As a result, it was inherently difficult for women to obtain the right to take part in the political process within a short period. On the other hand, the mobilized energy and political weight of women’s groups became the foundation for continuous empowerment, subsequently enabling women to fight the system, change the system, and even drive systemic changes. Male bureaucrats who controlled political parties and government operations, public support, and social recognition were also key factors.
