Foundling Home Wet Nurses in the Qing Dynasty
[Abstract]
Jiang Yu-wei
PDF
1
This study focuses on the development of foundling homes in the Qing Dynasty and the wet nurses who worked in them. From Ming to Qing period, a large number of foundling homes were established. The occupation of wet nurse who worked in foundling homes, by definition a female occupation, thus emerged. These wet nurses served as not only “the rescuing of infants” but also “the help to the poor.” The first part of this article discusses the recruitment and payments of wet nurses in foundling homes. The second part focus on the duties and norms of wet nurses as healers, and outlines their most important tasks— breastfeeding and caretaking. In order to take good care of the newborns, wet nurses were often limited their activities. Finally, the operations of foundling homes are exposed, and the actual manners of the wet nurses vividly presented through narratives of wet nurses in the Qing Dynasty. More importantly, the gender consciousness implicit at the time and the period’s social values cannot be ignored.

This article examines the life of a talented woman Ding Shanyi, who followed her husband in his official travels. Trough the letters she sent to female friends, compiled in
Letters from the Double-Cassia Studio
, we can see how Ding arranged family affairs in unfamiliar places in the period before the Taiping armies attacked and occupied Jiang-nan region. Ding’s thinking and action shows what a married woman was capable of, which was far beyond what is usually imagined of a talented woman living in a hierarchical family during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Letters from the Double-Cassia Studio
not only demonstrates the unique image of a hostess, but also displays the social effects of letter-writing. As a result, we should reexamine the terms “old” and “sick” in Ding’s letters. Those words were actually euphemisms of refusal, apology, and explanation. Moreover, Ding’s rhetoric sheds light on the aging of talented women, which previous studies has neglected. When Ding fled from the Taiping armies, “old” and “sick” became the excuses or her belated farewells to friends. Her letters also represent antebellum Jiang-nan before the tragedy of Hangzhou in 1861. While most historical writings show what men did during the war, Ding’s letters preserve women’s contributions in taking care of all the family members. The contributions of women should be remembered.

Wang Chen chengRethinking the “Man of Reason” in Modern Politics: A Perspective from the Women’s Work during the War of Resistance against Japan
[Abstract]
Wang Chen-cheng

This article reflects on the assumption of the “man of reason” in modern politics based on a case study of women’s training during the War of Resistance against Japan in Changhua County, Zhejiang. According to the general discourse of intellectual women, rural women could not be well-mobilized until they had been emancipated from the “semi-feudal” society. In actual practice, this conception itself made the training difficult because of its poor understanding of rural women's potential and real needs. Only when those cadres began to appreciate the gender identity of rural women, was significant progress made. By analyzing the case of women’s training in Changhua County, which inevitably departed from the discourse of emancipation, this article argues that Chinese women’s so-called “irrationality,” compared to the assumption of the “man of reason,” has greater applicability in world history and modern politics.
