This book is a compelling exploration of China's history, weaving together mythology, archaeology, religion, folklore, literature, and journalism to reveal the significant r…ole of women in shaping a counterculture that continues to thrive. It spans from Neolithic times to modern Shanghai, highlighting the contributions of China's founding mothers, shamanesses, goddesses, and everyday heroines. The narrative emphasizes women's active participation in cultural life, contrasting the typical portrayal of them as mere supporters of the powerful. The author asserts that these stories reflect the hopes of the people and suggest possibilities for a better future. Through meticulous research, the book uncovers the female-oriented perspectives within Daoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Chinese folk religion, illustrating how this rich counterculture is influencing contemporary views on nature, power, equality, community, health, and spirituality. The author, an independent historian with a background in history from the University of Alberta, believes that understanding cultural history can provide insights into addressing today's pressing issues.
