19、20世纪之交,美国社会的妇女意识与来华传教士的中国妇女观有着密切关系,美国传教士的妇女研究著作成为当时中国妇女观察的重要组成部分。受西方中心论的影响,传教士对中国妇女的观察具有负面、灰色的特点。受时代所限,父权制理论的桎梏也使其对中国妇女的观察具有局限性。 At the turn of the 20th and 20th centuries, the awareness of women in American society was closely related to the Chinese outlook on the Chinese missionaries in China. The works of women’s studies by American missionaries became an important part of the Chinese women’s observation at the time. Under the influence of Western centralism, the missionaries’ observation of Chinese women is negative and gray. Confined by the times, the paranoid theory also made its observation of Chinese women has limitations.
