At the dawn of the 1930s a new empowered and liberated image of the
female was taking root in popular culture in the West. This "modern
woman" archetype was also penetrating into Eastern cultures,
however, challenging the Chinese and Japanese historical norm of
the woman as homemaker, servant, or geisha. Through a focus on the
writings of the Western women who engaged with the Far East, and
the Eastern writers and personalities who reacted to this new
global gender communication by forming their own separate
identities, Katrina Gulliver reveals the complex redefining of the
self taking place in a crucial time of political and economic
upheaval. Including an analysis of the work of Nobel Prize laureate
Pearl S. Buck, "The Modern Woman in China and Japan" is an
important contribution to gender studies and will appeal to
historians and scholars of China and East Asia as well as to those
studying Asian and American literature.
