In: An East Gate Book
Pt. 1 contains historial interpretations and provides a number of general themes, a.o. female rulers and feminist thought in ancient China, influences of foreign cultures on the Chinese woman, the Chinese woman past and present, historical roots of changes in women's status in modern China. The brief autobiographical sketches in Pt. 2 offer individual perspectives on Chinese women's lives in the first half of the 20th century. These women come from different regions of China, from different family backgrounds, and from different socio-economic groups, and have different levels of education. (DÜI-Alb)
