"纯正女性风范"是维多利亚时代美国社会公认的女性观,其基本德行参数包括虔诚、贞洁、温顺和齐家。这一价值体系将女性排除在公共空间之外,但在教会推动之下,许多新教妇女投身海外传教事业,从而在一定程度上打破了两性空间分隔。在中国的特殊语境下,女传教士们策略性地改变"纯正女性风范"各参数的权重配置,在维持传教界两性等级传统的同时,实行男女职能错位,从而实现女性的社会价值。

The cult of "True Womanhood" was an ideology of women's identity in Victorian America with four parameters piety, purity, submissiveness and domesticity, by which women were discursively excluded from the public sphere. However, encouraged by the church, many educated protestant women managed to infiltrate into the semi-public sphere of foreign mission, breaking through the gendered divide. When the missionary women adapted to a Chinese context, they strategically changed the weight of all the parameters of the "True Womanhood" and reshaped their professional positions, which in turn helped them achieve their social value while the old male-female functional structure within the missionary field was maintained.
