本文考察了19世纪末20世纪初全球范围内对外国道德典范的吸纳和整合过程，并将其纳入当地的“妇女价值观”纲要。本文以20世纪初中国、埃及和英美社会对佛罗伦萨·南丁格尔（1820-1910）的推崇为例，探讨了将此前不为人知的女性形象引入当地杰出女性传记的情况。我的工作提出了新的研究路线的连续性和变化的全球进程，并假定早期的“全球现代”的社会文化共性揭示了这些跨国的故事和他们的无处不在。通过对佛罗伦萨·南丁格尔的故事的研究，本文揭示了性别定义的跨国过程与全球性、性别现代性的地方构成之间的交叉点，并呼吁在世界其他地区进行类似的研究。
This essay examines the late 19th-century/early 20th-century global process of cooptation and incorporation of foreign moral exemplars into local compendia of “Women Worthies.” Presenting a case study of the early 20th-century adoption of Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) as a new Woman Worthy in China, Egypt, and the Anglo-American sphere, I investigate the introduction of previously unknown female figures into local collections of biographies of eminent women. My work suggests new lines of research into global processes of continuity and change, and posits socio-cultural commonplaces of the early “global modern” revealed by these transnational stories and their ubiquity. In investigating the oft-told story of Florence Nightingale, this paper uncovers the intersection between transnational processes of gender definition and the local constitution of a global, gendered modernity and calls for similar studies in other world areas.
