In this compelling new study, Louise Edwards explores the lives of
some of China's most famous women warriors and wartime spies
through history. Focusing on key figures including Hua Mulan, Zheng
Pingru and Liu Hulan, this book examines the ways in which these
extraordinary women have been commemorated through a range of
cultural mediums including film, theatre, museums and textbooks.
Whether perceived as heroes or anti-heroes, Edwards shows that both
the popular and official presentation of these women and their
accomplishments has evolved in line with China's shifting political
values and circumstances over the past one hundred years. Written
in a lively and accessible style with illustrations throughout,
this book sheds new light on the relationship between gender and
militarisation and the ways that women have been exploited to
glamorise war both historically in the past and in China today.
