From “Gongke Dan” (Instructions on Daily Work) to Domestic Science: Late Qing Discourse on Domestic Science in

Nie shi chongbian jiazheng xue 聶氏重編家政學 (Domestic Science as Recompiled by Mrs. Nie; hereinafter Nie shi) published in 1903 by Zeng Jifen 曾紀芬(1852–1942) was the earliest of a series of translated textbooks on domestic science containing Japanese neologisms introduced into late Qing China. Zeng’s understanding (and misconceptions) of domestic science was closely linked to her family legacy of home education and was set amongst broader contemporary debates about female education. The unique perspectives on family education discussed in this book highlight the process of adaption and negotiation whilst introducing Chinese translations of Japanese domestic science works into late Qing China. This case study of Nie shi also permits historians to delve into the dynamically changing character of the evolution of the concept of housewife from late Qing respectable ladies’ circles to modern China’s emergence of ideas of female social reform. These historical developments should be clearly distinguished from research on “talented women” 才女 in late Qing China. Although Shimoda Utako’s 下田歌子(1854–1936) concept of domestic science formed the foundation for Nie shi, Zeng Jifen’s compilation proposed that domestic science be adapted to suit China’s specific needs. Not only did this adaptation process include adjustments for Japanese and Chinese cultural differences, but Zeng’s introduction of domestic science also became a platform for a broader discourse on cultural values and expectations of domestic science in late Qing China. Moreover, the concept of a “domestic bursar” 內政總理 in this work entailed a unique composite blend of ideas revolving around the traditional Confucian concept of marriage, the three obediences and four virtues, and new Western female roles. Furthermore, the emphasis on the domestic authority of the domestic bursar and the perfection of her moral character was starkly different from Shimoda Utako’s stress on the scientific governance of the domestic household by a professional housewife. This case study thus reveals new interpretations of domestic science in late Qing China.

Xu Yuying v. Ji Juemi: The Transformation Dilemma of Modern China as Seen in a Seduction Case (1933 1935)

In 1933, Xu Yuying 徐玉英 (?–?), a young woman, accused Ji Juemi 姬覺彌 (1885–1964), an affluent man, of seducing her into a sexual relationship in Shanghai. The case, which was framed as a “weak young girl” and a Shanghai magnate, attracted widespread public attention. During the trial, media coverage of the incident varied significantly, and Shanghai Business Daily, the first newspaper to report on the case, became embroiled in litigation. Ultimately, the court acquitted the defendant despite numerous doubts, sparking widespread public skepticism. Subsequently, the plaintiff’s lawyer, Xu’s support group, and certain media outlets were penalized by the court, which provoked strong media and public indignation. The Shanghai branch of the Kuomintang (KMT) at this time intervened, with the case even reaching Chiang Kai-shek (1887–1975), and owing to the concerted efforts of various sectors, a massive collective call to action was realized, leading to a direct confrontation between public opinion and the judiciary. The media, the judiciary, the public, and the government each played distinct roles in the case, which highlights the tensions between these entities during China’s modernization process. Furthermore, the case’s resolution reflects the challenges faced by the Nanjing National Government in social governance.

Women’s Participation in the Post War Development of Public Health: The Taipei Women’s Association and the Taipei Young Women’s Christian Associat ion

Past accounts of public health have largely focused on disease prevention and state control. Although the establishment of a public health system requires the cooperation of the whole of society, in practice, the public health system focuses on the power of government agencies and medical institutions, neglecting voluntary public participation. Through the lens of women and gender, this article explores how two different types of women’s organizations—the local Taipei Women’s Association and the international Taipei Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA)—promoted public health campaigns in post-war Taiwan. These non-governmental entities outside of the medical profession, made up of female public health workers, had actively been advancing such campaigns before the government even formulated a complete health policy. With their campaign ideals, they promoted environmental health and health education within the public health domain through diverse activities and the implementation of programs. They also integrated women’s work and these campaigns to achieve the objective of social participation in public health. By examining these historical examples, we can, in one aspect, consider women’s roles and work in public health and, in another, reflect on the feasibility or limitations of civil society in constructing public health networks.
