초록

In this essay the author attempts to contextualize and analyze selected articles published in 1884 and 1885 in the women's missionary periodical Woman's Work in China. Woman's Work in China has here been found exceptionally rewarding for an analysis of the representations of Chinese women. This is not only because it included reports from various parts of the Chinese Empire, but also because the articles were written by Protestant European and American women of various denominations, and thus, most likely addressed a large audience in the foreign community in China and in the West. Since the author observes textual encounters of Western women with Chinese women under imperialism, analysis here is informed by "general" postcolonial theory, as well as by the feminist postcolonial insights on gender aspects within orientalist cultural production. The goal of this article is twofolded: attempting to identify and analyze the constructions of Chinese women that were produced in women missionaries' writings and to relate them with the images of women missionaries that emerged in the same process.
