Abstract

The late Qing Dynasty was the beginning of Chinese Women’s Liberation. Changes first occurred in the field of discourse, where Chinese traditional women became “visible” at this time, modern newspapers and periodicals, as an external force, created this kind of “visibility”. The Globe Magazine and the western newspapers it represents enable women to get out of the closed logical chain of culture and morality, and problematize Chinese women from the perspective of “the difference between China and the west”, On this basis, The Chinese Progress and newspapers owned by Chinese completed the process of “legalization” of remoulding women, and explained the necessity from the perspective of “national interest” rather than physical health. This kind of explanation is more like a strategy than a historical limitation. The reformers holded that “newspaper is the mouth of the country”, and the utterance of newspapers is mainly towards the country and the emperor, so only be discussed under the background of “national construction” can women’s issues occupy an important position in newspapers facing the politicians. Therefore, the reason to “release women” became “national interest” in The Chinese Progress instead of the “individual rights” of women in the The Globe Magazine. Different newspapers with different ways of practice, involved in the public speech about women, and together affect the way women appear in the field of public discourse. Newspapers have become one of the important driving forces for the process of Chinese Women’s Liberation Movement.
