This is a critical inquiry into the connections between emergent
feminist ideologies in China and the production of "modern" women's
writing from the demise of the last imperial dynasty to the
founding of the People's Republic of China. It accentuates both
well-known and under-represented literary voices from Qiu Jin and
Lu Yin to Bai Wein, who intervened in the gender debates of their
generation as well as contextualizes the strategies used in
imagining alternative stories of female experience and potential.
It asks two questions: First, how did the advent of enlightened
views of gender relations and sexuality influence literary
practices of "new women" in terms of narrative forms and
strategies, readership, and publication venues? Second, how do
these representations attest to the way these female intellectuals
engaged and expanded social and political concerns from the
personal to the national?
