From periphery to center:approaching Beijing Female High Normal College
Beijing Female High Normal College,which is the first national higher educational institute for women in modern China,used to be the core female college in the early part of 20th century in China and an important symbol of the early modern transformation of Chinese society since it witnessed and participated in social change.However,as far as this institute has been withdrawn behind the scene of educational historiography and out of people's mind due to the influence of genderless-oriented research and traditional historiography after the foundation of New China.It is indeed necessary to introduce and explore its important meaning in history in order to restore its historical facts and draw more attention.
