本研究从现代化和社会网络理论出发，探讨清末民初女性报人社会网络的现代化进 程，以此为窗口窥探整个社会“人的现代化”中性别现代化因素萌芽及发展初期的宏观 叙事。研究发现，清末民初这一社会转型时期，女性报人社会网络的建构体现了从强关 系到弱关系，从依赖信任到委托信任的现代化转变，并出现紧缩圈层，拟亲缘关系进入 差序格局，女性特征亦适时运用于社会交往，成为女性群体现代化的动力；但在其运作 中仍以传统社会的交往模式为主，体现出以特殊主义为基础与核心、集体取向大于自我 取向、扩散性大于专一性等实质性运作特点。然而，女报人社会网络建构过于依赖先赋 性关系，并得益于其职业特殊性及客观因素的支撑，具有明显的局限性。

This study explores the modernization process of the social network of female newspaper practitioners in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China based on the theory of modernization and social networks. It is used as a window to explore the germination of gender modernization and the macro-narrative of the initial stage of development of "human modernization" of the entire society. This study finds that the construction of female newspaper practitioners’ social network re?ected the characteristics of the modern transformation during the period of social transition in late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, these are the social network from strong relationships to weak relationships and dependent trust to entrusted trust, the emergence of retrenchment circle, and quasi-kinship entering the differential mode of association, and the characteristics of women also applying to social interaction in a timely manner. All of those have become the motivation of the modernization of the female groups. However, in the actual operation, it is still dominated by the mode of interaction of traditional society. It also re?ects that the particularism is the basis and core, the collective orientation is greater than self-orientation, and diffusion is greater than specifcity. However, there are signifcant limitations that the construction of female newspaper practitioners' social network overly depends on the preemptive relationship, and benefts from the particularity of profession and the support of objective factors.
