Rather than seeing this new print and publishing genre as a gendered site coded as either “feminine” or “masculine,” this book approaches it as a mixed-gender public space where both men and women were intellectually active and involved in dynamic interactions to determine the contours of their discursive encounters.   Drawing upon a variety of novel textual modes such as polemical essays, historical biography, public speech, and expository essays, this book opens a window onto men’s and women’s gender-specific approaches to a series of prominent topics central to the Chinese woman question in the early twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures    Introduction    1 Articulating the Woman Question: Women’s Literary Heritage, Education, and the Nation  1 The Mixed-Gender Public Space in Nü xuebao  2 Debates on the Cainü Legacy  3 Asserting Intellectual Authority in the Public Space  4 Ambivalence: a Debate of Linguistic Registers  5 Conclusion    2 Nationalism and Beyond: Nüjie and the Construction of a New Gendered Collective Identity  1 The Cure for the Nation: Mobilizing Nüjie  2 A Nüjie of Their Own  3 Beyond Nationalism: Demanding a Revolution in Nüjie  4 Conclusion    3 The Manchu Woman Commits Suicide: Ethnicity and the Composition of the New Chinese Woman  1 A Sacrificial Martyr for a National Cause  2 Making a Manchu Heroine  3 Ethnicity and Gender: Manchu Women’s Envisioning of Modern Womanhood  4 Conclusion    4 Fashioning Hygienic Womanhood: Women’s Health and Bodies in Commercial Women’s Journals  1 The Mixed-Gender Public Space of the Commercial Women’s Journals: Male Editorial Agency and Female Authorial Subjectivity  2 The Ideal of “Wise Mothers and Good Wives”  3 Women and Weisheng in the Household  4 Women’s Hygiene and Reproductive Health   4.1 Menstruation   4.2 Childbirth  5 Conclusion    5 Policing Girl Students  1 Female Students in the Late Qing  2 The Republican Girl Students  3 Debates on Girl Students  4 Personal Accounts from Girl Students  5 Conclusion    Conclusion    Works Cited  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210807632215,"sku":"9789004438538","price":133.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/engendering-the-woman-question-men-women-and-writing-in-china-s-early-periodical-press-9789004438538","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
