This volume contains over 250 biographies of women active from 1912
until 1990, although many of the biographies include information
current to 2000. In addition to biographies of internationally
famous Chinese women, the editor was also able to include a far
greater range of women than would have been previously possible
because of the enormous amount of historical material and scholarly
research that has become available in the last few decades.
These are Chinese women who have forged careers as scientists,
businesswomen, sportswomen, and military officers appearing
alongside writers, academics, revolutionary heroines, politicians,
musicians, opera stars, film stars, artists, educators, nuns, and
traditional good wives, as well as women from minority
nationalities. They include women from Mainland China and Taiwan as
well as those of Chinese descent who were born overseas. More than
eighty authors and translators from around the world have
contributed to this impressive and indispensable scholarly
undertaking.
