摘要
1840年鸦片战争后,西方传教士紧跟着大炮来华,为了达到传播福音的目的,在中国开始兴办教会女子学校,培养教徒。教会女学中的学生不仅接受了宗教教育,同时也接受了西方自然科学知识和民主、自由、平等等社会科学的内容。从教会中毕业的女性走上社会后,大多从事医药、护士和教育,成为中国最早的职业女性。作为中国最早觉醒的女性,她们为近代妇女的解放做出了巨大贡献。
After the Opium War（1840-1842）, western missionaries came to China, following weapons of the West,and began to set up mission schools for women to train followers of the religion in order to evangelize. Students in these schools received not only religious education but also knowledge about science,democracy,freedom,equality and so on. After graduation they were mostly engaged in medicine and education as the first group of professional women in China. Being first awakened,they made great contribution to the liberation of women.
