Chen Liang (梁晨) and James Z. Lee (李中清) published an article 《社会转型与中国近代女大学生的教育样态》 in 《中国社会科学》(Social Sciences in China) on the female university students in Republican-era China using the CUSD-ROC databases.
Here is the abstract in Chinese and English:
在近代社会转型背景之下，中国女大学生的教育环境和教育选择既与传统中国女性迥异，也与欧美不尽相同。一方面，随着女禁解除,男女同校的教育形式被中国高校普遍采纳，高校女大学生的制度环境较为宽松；另一方面，女大学生的社会来源和地理分布较男生更为集中，女子进入高等教育的门槛明显高于男生，在看似相对宽松的教育环境背后隐藏着更难逾越的阶层限制。大学之门平等向女性开放，是新中国成立后才逐渐发展形成的。这不仅有助于推进近代中国女性教育研究，也为理解全球近代女性平等的发展历程提供了中国经验。
One of the most radical and important social changes in the twentieth century is the opening of tertiary education to women. This article uses the China University Student Dataset-Republic of China (CUSD-ROC) and related education statistics in the Republican period, to understand better the early history of female tertiary education in China. By analyzing and contrasting student spatial and social origins by gender as well as different gender preferences for student majors, we demonstrate that many features of female education in Republican China differ from China in the past and elsewhere in. the world.
