Conclusion.This study provides an up-to-date empirical account of Chinese female judges within the context of the Chinese legal system and wider society, revealing a deeper understanding of women in contemporary China. Shen explores the gendered nature of judging in post-Mao China by examining: who female judges are, what they do, and their position in relation to their profession. She goes on to argue for true representation of women in the judiciary, including their contributions in judging, and the importance of judicial diversity. The book examines the place held by female judges at home and women's place in society as a whole, and investigates gender equality, women's agencies, emancipation, and empowerment in the contemporary China. Based on data resulting from original research, this book provides a much-needed contribution to contemporary women's studies. Addressing a broad range of issues surrounding gender and justice in the Chinese judicial system, this engaging study will be of special interest to scholars and activists involved with judicial diversity, gender politics, and gender equality.Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in AsiaCrime—Sociological aspectsCriminologyLaw—AsiaCritical criminologyChina—HistorySociologyEthnology—AsiaCrime and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000Asian Criminologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BC000Critical Criminologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B1000History of Chinahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Asian Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040Crime—Sociological aspects.Criminology.Law—Asia.Critical criminology.China—History.Sociology.Ethnology—Asia.Crime and Society.Asian Criminology.Critical Criminology.History of China.Gender Studies.Asian Culture.305.3Shen Anqiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut868556BOOK9910255277403321Women Judges in Contemporary China1938785UNINA
