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. 410 0$aChinese Literature and Culture in the World,$x2945-7262 606 $aOriental literature 606 $aSex 606 $aEthnology$xAsia 606 $aCulture 606 $aMotion pictures$xAsia 606 $aAsian Literature 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aAsian Culture 606 $aAsian Film and TV 615 0$aOriental literature. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aEthnology$xAsia. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xAsia. 615 14$aAsian Literature. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aAsian Culture. 615 24$aAsian Film and TV. 676 $a809.5 700 $aHe$b Qiliang$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0982610 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300013403321 996 $aFeminism, Women's Agency, and Communication in Early Twentieth-Century China$92242504 997 $aUNINA
