{"product_id":"women-in-the-chinese-enlightenment-zheng-wang-9780520218741","title":"Women in the Chinese Enlightenment: Oral \u0026 Textual Histor","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zheng Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520218744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520218741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Zheng Wang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056207393023,"sku":"9780520218741","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b709b4c-7f1a-4620-ae40-b7554a0579cc.jpg?v=1685040089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-in-the-chinese-enlightenment-zheng-wang-9780520218741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
