...surveys
more than 650 scholarly works, discussing Chinese women in the context
of marriage, family, sexuality, labor, and national modernity. In the
process, Hershatter offers keen analytic insights and judgments about
the works themselves and the evolution of related academic fields. The
result is both a practical bibliographic tool and a thoughtful
reflection on how we approach the past.
