Helen Snow (a.k.a. Nym Wales), traveled to China alone in 1931, married American journalist Edgar Snow, lived nine years in China, and contributed to the historical record a set of texts about a pivotal period in U.S.-China relations. A participant in the December Ninth Student Movement of 1935, a boundary breaker who entered the Communist area of Yen-an in 1937, an innovator of the Gung Ho Industrial Cooperative movement, Helen Snow has often been overlooked or dismissed in the historiography of this era in U.S.-China relations. This dissertation reappraises the striking nature of a set of images created by Snow as she wrote to communicate with an American audience.

520 $a Helen Snow (a.k.a. Nym Wales), traveled to China alone in 1931, married American journalist Edgar Snow, lived nine years in China, and contributed to the historical record a set of texts about a pivotal period in U.S.-China relations. A participant in the December Ninth Student Movement of 1935, a boundary breaker who entered the Communist area of Yen-an in 1937, an innovator of the Gung Ho Industrial Cooperative movement, Helen Snow has often been overlooked or dismissed in the historiography of this era in U.S.-China relations. This dissertation reappraises the striking nature of a set of images created by Snow as she wrote to communicate with an American audience.
520 $a This dissertation examines the processes involved in creating historical narratives when the creator is also a participant and direct observer. It explores how personal history, gender roles, and personality are shaped in a particular context. Snow, as a woman of her time, is representative of how an American woman acted at home and abroad during the middle decades of the twentieth century. This study contemplates the sometimes perplexing circumstances for women who sought to enter a typically male realm of work and intellectual endeavor. Consideration of authorial presence in historical narratives is a central concern in this work. This study is informed by theoretical approaches concerning the construction of the "Other" and the effect of memory on historical accounts.
520 $a Helen Snow questioned the role the U.S. should or could play internationally, and at what level it should be involved in the affairs of China. She sought to encourage change in the nature of U.S. relations with China by directing it toward humanitarian and mutually beneficial economic ends. Her writing transcends the historical moment in which she wrote, continues to shape images, and thus, has become more than one individual's view of China at a particular historical moment. Her life and contributions to the field merit her a position and positive assessment as one of the "Old China Hands" who helped to shape the distinctive character of a pivotal epoch in U.S. China relations.
