Finding Women in the State is a provocative hidden history of
socialist state feminists maneuvering behind the scenes at the core
of the Chinese Communist Party. These women worked to advance
gender and class equality in the early People's Republic and fought
to transform sexist norms and practices, all while facing fierce
opposition from a male-dominated CCP leadership from the Party
Central to the local government. Wang Zheng extends this
investigation to the cultural realm, showing how feminists within
China's film industry were working to actively create new cinematic
heroines, and how they continued a New Culture anti-patriarchy
heritage in socialist film production. This book illuminates not
only the different visions of revolutionary transformation but also
the dense entanglements among those in the top echelon of the
party. Wang discusses the causes for failure of China's socialist
revolution and raises fundamental questions about male dominance in
social movements that aim to pursue social justice and equality.
This is the first book engendering the PRC high politics and has
important theoretical and methodological implications for scholars
and students working in gender studies as well as China studies.
