The author interrupts a hegemonic framework of historical narratives by exploring formal institutions and rules as well as social networks and social norms that shape the lived experiences of women. This book achieves a more nuanced understanding about the interplays of Christianity, gender, power and modern Chinese history. It reintroduces Chinese Christian women pioneers not only to women’s history and the history of Chinese Christianity, but also to the history of global Christian mission and the global history of many modern professions, such as medicine, education, literature, music, charity, journalism, and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an innovative, important, and altogether fascinating history of Chinese Christian women. Stretching from the period of Western missions through the communist era and up to the current Christian celebrity culture, Ma’s provocative history presses readers to think expansively about the relationship between Christianity, gender, and the modern Chinese nation. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Kristin Du Mez, Calvin University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One: The Era of Revolutions: Missionaries, Physicians, Reformer-Educators \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Foreign Devils and Heathen Sisters\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: A Confucian Christian Feminist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: China’s First “Christian Republic”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Life and Death of Christian Colleges\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart Two: The Era of Militant Communism: Intellectuals, Resisters, Accommodators \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Patriotic Intellectuals and the New Regime\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Does the Motherland Love You Back?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: The Party Could Still Use You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart Three: The Era of Developmental Communism: Influencers, Whistle-blowers, Celebrities \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Bibles, Hymns, and Competing Influences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Exposing Abuses, Changing Narratives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Consumerism, Censorship and Christian Celebrities\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042662220119,"sku":"9781793631565","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793631565.jpg?v=1750955068","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/christian-women-and-modern-china-recovering-a-womens-history-of-chinese-protestantism-9781793631565","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
