Via a network of communications that connected people of differing socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, non-elite women were empowered to display their new womanhood and thereby exercise their self-activating agency to mount resistance to China’s patriarchal system. Qiliang He’s text also investigates the proliferation of anti-feminist conservatisms in legal practice, scholarly discourses, media, and popular culture in the early Nanjing Decade (1927-1937). Utilizing a framework of interdisciplinary scholarship, this book traverses various fields such as legal history, women’s history, popular culture/media studies, and literary studies to explore urban discourse and communication in 1920s China.Chinese Literature and Culture in the World,2945-7262Oriental literatureSexEthnologyAsiaCultureMotion picturesAsiaAsian LiteratureGender StudiesAsian CultureAsian Film and TVOriental literature.Sex.EthnologyAsia.Culture.Motion picturesAsia.Asian Literature.Gender Studies.Asian Culture.Asian Film and TV.809.5He Qiliangauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut982610BOOK9910300013403321Feminism, Women's Agency, and Communication in Early Twentieth-Century China2242504UNINA
