内容简介
· · · · · ·
If we place women at the center of our account of China’s last two centuries, how does this change our understanding of what happened? This deeply knowledgeable book illuminates the places where the Big History of recognizable events intersects with the daily lives of ordinary people, using gender as its analytic lens. Leading scholar Gail Hershatter asks how these events affected women in particular, and how women affected the course of these events. For instance, did women have a 1911 revolution? A socialist revolution? If so, what did those revolutions look like? Which women had them?
Hershatter uses two key themes to frame her analysis. The first is the importance of women’s visible and invisible labor. The labor of women in domestic and public spaces shaped China’s move from empire to republic to socialist nation to rising capitalist power. The second is the symbolic work performed by gender itself. What women should do and be was a constant topic of debate during China’s transformation from empire to weak state to partially occupied territory to nascent socialist republic to reform-era powerhouse. What sorts of concerns did people express through the language of gender? How did that language work, and why was it so powerful?
Drawing on decades of Hershatter’s groundbreaking scholarship and mastery of a range of literatures, this beautifully written book will be essential reading for all students of China’s modern history.

评论 ······
每个章节都可以拿出来写一本书 从头到尾都透露着自然的难得的对女性和不同阶级的共情 女性虽然很少成为历史上的关键人物 但是”through their daily activities, women enlarged their own spaces of possibility during and between the events of Big History”|给这本书写评论的豆友也都好赞…
正在用来教本科生，很受益，五星打卡。
既适合作为教材或入门读物，又有“妇女的隐藏劳动”和“妇女/女性作为符号”的讨论贯穿全书，适合更深入的历史或理论讨论
选读，广博却不乏细节。作为象征符号的女性以及如何揭示其后的话语问题，值得认真阅读（可惜我已经在博论海洋里沉沦）。有机会再细读。
