Xin Huang examines four women's life stories: an urban woman who lived through the Mao era (1949-1976), a rural migrant worker, a lesbian artist who has close connections with transnational queer networks, and an urban woman who has lived abroad. The individual narratives are paired with analysis of the historical and social contexts in which each woman lives. Huang focuses on the shifting relationship between gender and class, fashion and shame in the Mao and post-Mao eras, queer desire and artwork, and contemporary transnational encounters. By rethinking the historical significance and contemporary relevance of one of the twentieth century's major feminist interventions-socialist and Marxist women's liberation during the Mao years-\u003ci\u003eThe Gender Legacy of the Mao Era\u003c\/i\u003e provides insight into current struggles over gender equality in China and around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xin Huang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438470606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438470603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Xin Huang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439141400831,"sku":"9781438470603","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c836e250-2148-4dab-8bac-99d6b2e9b7af.jpg?v=1777175707","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gender-legacy-of-the-xin-huang-9781438470603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
