在中国漫长的封建社会里,妇女深受重重压迫,被排斥在社会生活之外。鸦片战争之后,西方传教士来华,“新教徒”中,很多人明确信奉男女平等的原则,他们在宣传教义的同时,客观上也在中国宣传了男女平等的思想。太平天国的领导人,第一次在中国提出了男女平等的政治主张。太平天国被镇压之后,早期的维新派代表也提出了妇女解放的问题,但是并未深入。资产阶级维新派代表从号召不缠足开始,将妇女解放运动付诸实践。兴女学是维新派宣传的又一个重点,在中国创办了第一批私人女学校。伴随着女子教育的发展,也出现了一批以接受新式教育的女学生为主体的知识女性群,她们创建了我国最早的一批妇女报刊。 In China’s long feudal society, women were deeply oppressed and excluded from social life. After the Opium War, when Western missionaries came to China, many of the “Protestants” clearly believed in the principle of equality between men and women. While they propagandized their doctrines, they also objectively promoted the idea of ​​equality between men and women in China. For the first time, the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have proposed a political proposition for equality between men and women in China. After the Taiping Rebellion was suppressed, the early reformist representatives also raised the issue of women’s liberation but did not go deep. The bourgeois reformers started their call for non-binding footfalls and put the women’s liberation movement into practice. Xing female school is another advocate of reformist propaganda, founded in China, the first batch of private female school. Along with the development of women’s education, a group of knowledgeable women groups mainly composed of female students who have received new-style education have also emerged. They have created the first batch of women’s newspapers and periodicals in our country.
