Christina Kelley Gilmartin rewrites the history of gender politics
in the 1920s with this compelling assessment of the impact of
feminist ideals on the Chinese Communist Party during its formative
years. For the first time, Gilmartin reveals the extent to which
revolutionaries in the 1920s were committed to women's emancipation
and the radical political efforts that were made to overcome
women's subordination and to transform gender relations. Women
activists whose experiences and achievements have been previously
ignored are brought to life in this study, which illustrates how
the Party functioned not only as a political organization but as a
subculture for women as well. We learn about the intersection of
the personal and political lives of male communists and how this
affected their beliefs about women's emancipation. Gilmartin
depicts with thorough and incisive scholarship how the Party
formulated an ideological challenge to traditional gender relations
while it also preserved aspects of those relationships in its
organization.
