New Modern Chinese Women and Gender Politics

The past century witnessed dramatic changes in the lives of Chinese women and in gender politics in China. While some revolutionary actions to rectify the practices of the feudalist patriarchy, such as foot-binding and polygyny, were first seen in the late Qing period, the termination of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of Republican China in 191112 initiated truly nationwide constitutional reform alongside increasing gender egalitarianism. This book traces the radical changes in gender politics in China, and the way in which the lives, roles, and status of Chinese women have been transformed over the last 100 years. In doing so, it highlights three distinctive areas of development for modern Chinese women and gender politics: first, Chinese womens equal rights, freedom, careers, and images about their modernized femininity; second, Chinese womens overseas experiences and accomplishments; and third, advances in Chinese gender politics of nonheterosexuality and same-sex concerns.

This book takes a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on film, history, literature, and personal experience. As such, it will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Chinese culture and society, womens studies, gender studies, and gender politics.

Chen Ya-chen is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Weatherhead East Asian Studies Institute, Columbia University, USA.
