Bound to Emancipate - Working Women Urban Citizenship in Early Twentieth Century China

Informationen zum Autor Angelina Chin is assistant professor of history at Pomona College. Klappentext Emancipation, a defining feature of twentieth-century Chinese society, is explored in detail in this compelling study. Angelina Chin expands and reinterprets the meaning of women’s emancipation by examining what this rhetoric meant to lower-class women. Challenging the nation-based framework of history by focusing on two cities, Chin compares colonial Hong Kong with Guangzhou, which allows her to seamlessly integrate colonial studies and China studies.
