Women in urban China have lived through decades of political
turbulence, extensive socio-economic change, and the transformation
of gender practices, expectations, and relationships. Among these
is the mother-daughter relationship, one that has profound
influence on women's gendered subjectivity but one that has been
overlooked in research on gender and family in China. In The
Subject of Gender, Harriet Evans reflects on how women in urban
China make sense of the shifts in practices and representations of
gender that frame their lives and how their self-identification as
mothers and daughters contributes to the redefinition of those
practices. Based on the memories and experiences of educated and
professional women of different ages, this book discusses the
mother-daughter relationship through various themes: separation,
communication, domestic/public boundaries, male privilege, the
sexed body, reproduction, and filial responsibilities. This
fascinating work draws on feminist and critical theory and on
anthropological and historical research to analyze the changing
articulations of gender subjectivity that emerge from the links
between discursive shifts, generational difference, and individual
experiences of the mother-daughter relationship.
