Chinese Femininities/Chinese Masculinities: A Reader Paperback - 2002 - 1st Edition
by Susan Brownell (Editor); Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom (Editor); Foreword by Thomas Laqueur
First line
Historians have long described notions of womanhood and the social conditions of women during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) with reference to the so-called cult of female chastity.
From the rear cover
"The last thirty years have seen an astonishing growth in the field of gender studies for late-imperial and twentieth-century China. In this ingeniously orchestrated book, Brownell and Wasserstrom not only give us a careful bibliographic and analytical summary of that earlier work, but by assembling paired essays on matching male and female gender issues, written by an excellent roster of scholars, they have indicated the lines along which this field can expand fruitfully in the future."--Jonathan D. Spence, author of The Search for Modern China
"In Chinese Feminities/Chinese Masculinities we finally have a volume that scholars of the world outside China will ignore at their peril, so thoroughly will it shake prevailing assumptions about how sexuality and gender can be historically and culturally constituted. Scholars and teachers of history, anthropology, sociology, history of medicine and science, law, politics, literature, and psychiatry, among others, should prepare for the great impact this splendid book is sure to have."--Emily Martin, author of The Woman in the Body: A Cultural Analysis of Reproduction
