Abstract:As a women's journal that was born around 1911 Revolution and had the longest history, Women's Times should have academic attention in the research area of female history and the history of newspapers. Given the interactive relationships between newspapers and society, the discussions of Women's Times on women's participation in political affairs in the early years of the Republic of China aimed to demonstrate the following two issues. How could a businesslike journal present such a political movement as feminism? How would the Women's Times evaluation of feminism between knowledge and ethics form a framework to shape the discussion of women's political participation by other women's journals since 1913. Thus, this practice of shaping women's movement based on public opinions had showed that Women's movement for political participation failed not only because of the intervention of powerful political few, but also because of its own deep social roots.
