Many students of China have read in many classic reports of the
Chinese revolution about the changing role of Chinese women. Women
fighting and working, women speaking and marching, women standing
up angry. And yet we absorbed this information in a most curious
way, with half the mind, so to speak. It was not until the women's
liberation movement exploded on the American scene that we gained a
new and somewhat stunned understanding of the aspects of China's
liberation that were always there, awaiting our discovery. We now
see the actions of the Women's Associations not as part of some
general and vague process of "social mobilization," but as
specific, bearing directly on both the concrete and existential
situation of their members. Women in China does more than just
strengthen our still tenuous grasp on the texture of revolution. It
also raises an enormous variety of questions. What were the roots
of the women's movement in China? How did that movement relate to
the Communist Party? What were the contradictions between social
revolution and militant feminism? What happened to the urban
feminists who did not join the Communists? And what was the fate of
those who did? How long does it take for social transformation to
make its effect felt on the status of women? Women in China draws
together recent essays on women so that students may have, in a
convenient form, a sense of the range of problems, answers, and
questions. The authors share neither a common ideology nor
methodology, but only the central query: what about women?
