Gail Hershatter is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her books include The Gender of Memory: Rural Women and China's Collective Past and Women in China's Long Twentieth Century.
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.

最近看的書都是硬性指標瞭
评分賀蕭的新著,非常好的通史讀本。既鋪墊宏觀的曆史背景,又觀照各個階層的社會成員,讓“性彆”成為曆史敘述中有機的組成部分,而不是淩駕於其他要素之上。
评分賀蕭老師在齣版前帶我們一章一章學習過一遍。非常係統有前瞻性的中國近代史婦女史入門教科書(可以說目前最好的一本,沒有之一)。
评分既適閤作為教材或入門讀物,又有“婦女的隱藏勞動”和“婦女/女性作為符號”的討論貫穿全書,適閤更深入的曆史或理論討論
