Bound to Emancipate

Más información sobre el libro

The study delves into the concept of women's emancipation in twentieth-century Chinese society, particularly from the perspective of lower-class women. By examining the rhetoric and its implications, Angelina Chin challenges traditional historical frameworks. Through a comparative analysis of colonial Hong Kong and Guangzhou, she effectively merges colonial studies with China studies, offering a nuanced understanding of emancipation's impact on women's lives in these distinct urban contexts.
