Gender and Education in China analyzes the significance, impact and
nature of women's public education in China from its beginnings at
the turn of the twentieth century. Educational change was an
integral aspect of the early twentieth century state-building and
modernizing reforms implemented by the Qing dynasty as a means of
strengthening the foundations of dynastic rule and reinvigorating
China's economy and society to ward off the threat of foreign
imperialism. A significant feature of educational change during
this period was the emergence of official and non-official schools
for girls. Using primary evidence such as official documents,
newspapers and journals, Paul Bailey analyzes the different
rationales for women's education provided by officials, educators
and reformers, and charts the course and practice of women's
education describing how young women responded to the educational
opportunities made available to them. Demonstrating how the
representation of women and assumptions concerning their role in
the household, society and polity underpinned subsequent gender
discourses throughout the rest of the century, Gender and Education
in China will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese history,
gender studies, women's studies as well as an interest in the
history of education.
