Centering on five life stories by Chinese women activists born just
after the turn of this century, this first history of Chinese May
Fourth feminism disrupts the Chinese Communist Party's master
narrative of Chinese women's liberation, reconfigures the history
of the Chinese Enlightenment from a gender perspective, and
addresses the question of how feminism engendered social change
cross-culturally.
In this multilayered book, the first-person narratives are
complemented by a history of the discursive process and the
author's sophisticated intertextual readings. Together, the parts
form a fascinating historical portrait of how educated Chinese men
and women actively deployed and appropriated ideologies from the
West in their pursuit of national salvation and self-emancipation.
As Wang demonstrates, feminism was embraced by men as instrumental
to China's modernity and by women as pointing to a new way of life.
