Women and Revolutions in China
39.99 €
How does Chinese history change when women are at the center of the narrative? Gail Hershatter shows how the key events of the last two centuries, from the fall of the empire to the post-Mao reforms, are intertwined with women’s everyday lives.

The study is structured around two themes: labor and the symbolic role of gender. Women’s labor, both visible and invisible, has played a decisive role in the transformations
of Chinese society. At the same time, the gender order has remained a field of debate: who should a woman be, what is she allowed to do, and how do these expectations reflect broader social anxieties?
Hershatter offers a look at revolutions, reforms, and crises through the eyes of women for whom these events had a different meaning from men’s perceptions. This book shows how history is transformed when those who have long remained on its periphery are included
