Draws from comprehensive archival material Contributes to scholarship on social reform movements in 1920s and 1930s China Establishes the connected impact of journalism, literature, and the law on sociocultural discourse

Feminism, Women¿s Agency, and Communication in Early Twentieth-Century China focuses on a sensational elopement in the Yangzi Delta in the late 1920s to explore how middle- and lower-class members of society gained access to and appropriated otherwise alien and abstract enlightenment theories and idioms about love, marriage, and family. 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 Chinäs 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.
