The past century witnessed dramatic changes in the lives of
modern Chinese women and gender politics. Whilst some revolutionary
actions to rectify the feudalist patriarchy, such as foot-binding
and polygyny were first seen in the late Qing period; the
termination of the Qing Dynasty and establishment of Republican
China in 1911-1912 initiated truly nation-wide constitutional
reform alongside increasing gender egalitarianism. This book traces
the radical changes in gender politics in China, and the way in
which the lives, roles and status of Chinese women have been
transformed over the last one hundred years. In doing so, it
highlights three distinctive areas of development for modern
Chinese women and gender politics: first, women s equal rights,
freedom, careers, and images about their modernized femininity;
second, Chinese women s overseas experiences and accomplishments;
and third, advances in Chinese gender politics of
non-heterosexuality and same-sex concerns.
This book takes a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing on film,
history, literature, and personal experience. As such, it will be
of huge interest to students and scholars of Chinese culture and
society, women's studies, gender studies and gender politics."
