Hardbound. Condition: Near fine. First Edition. Historical fictional account of a wealthy extended family in Hong Kong in the early twentieth century. The protagonist is known as "the king" within his family, due to his extraordinary wealth and power; living with him in a lavish mansion are his nine wives, as well as sisters, po…or relatives, servants and muitsai (essentially indentured slaves). Each of the eight stand-alone chapters, following the first, relates the story of one of the women in this mix - the first chapter introducing 'the king' himself. The author uses this narrative framework to portray the lives of women across the socio-economic spectrum in Hong Kong during this period. While fictional, the author, who had married into a similar milieu, used her own real-life family experience as a basis of the work. Slight traces of tape residue on front and rear EPs. The volume is otherwise as new, never previously owned or read. xv, 176 pp. Size: 22 x 14 cm.

Soft Cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: n/a. Second, revised edition. Since China and the West first came into contact centuries ago, descriptions of Chinese women of widely varying accuracy by travelers and writers have fueled the imagination of Western readers. By the early 20th century two images predominated--that… of the passive, fragile and vulnerable beauty, and that of the seductive, ruthless and scheming 'dragon lady'. Many modern English language writers and filmmakers have seized on these easily duplicated stereotypes, extending them even to the end of the 20th century and beyond. In a series of penetrating chapters, Mimi Chan explores the early origins and 20th century development of these images in popular fiction, the prejudices and misunderstandings that they perpetuate, and some of the works that have attempted to present a fairer, more nuanced, more 'human' view of Chinese womanhood. An important study of value to all who seek a clearer understanding of those who hold up 'half the (Chinese) sky'. 350 pp. Size: 21 x 14 cm.
