Gender and Subjectivities in Early Twentieth-Century Chinese Literature and Culture

Through both cultural and literary analysis, this book examines gender in relation to late Qing and modern Chinese intellectuals, including Mu Shiying, Bai Wei, and Lu Xun. Tackling important, previously neglected questions, Zhu ultimately shows the resilience and malleability of Chinese modernity through its progressive views on femininity.

Ping Zhu is Assistant Professor of Chinese at the University of Oklahoma, USA.
