太平天国运动中施行的“女馆”制度在发挥其“救济”功能的同时,也因其操作的强制武断为妇女带来了诸多苦难。“女馆”之失,在于它主要是作为太平天国统治者的政治工具,而非女性的维权工具;这也体现了近代以前中国妇女解放事业以男性为中心,缺乏“女性本位”意识的历史局限。 In addition to its “relief” function, the “women’s pawnship system” practiced in the Taiping movement has also brought a lot of suffering to women because of the enforcement of its operations. It is mainly because it is used as a political instrument of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ruler rather than as a safeguarding tool for women. This also shows that before the modern times the Chinese women’s liberation cause was centered on men and lacked the “female standard” Historical limitations of consciousness.
