Synopsis
Much more is known about prescribed female qualities, be they Confucian, Communist, or culturally Chinese, than about how it actually feels for Chinese women to live with that rhetoric and with the gap between rhetoric and experience. Based on self-portraits, personal narratives and remembered moments of girlhood, this daughter-centered study focuses on the changing reality of female lives during the country's republican, revolutionary and reform eras. Corresponding to these three periods, the process of becoming a woman in China seems successively to have been in opposition to, in imitation of and now different from that of their male counterparts. Today, preoccupations with fashion and the cosmopolitan have initiated a search , embracing a cross-cultural image of "femininity with Chinese characteristics" reminiscent of earlier decades this century. Combining the historical and contemporary, this book is also a personal accumulation of the author's own moments of reflection from more than 20 years of interaction with women in China as they have pursued revolutions within their society, their communities, their families and now themselves.

Changing Identities of Chinese Women
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
