The Precious Raft of History: The Past, the West, and the Woman Question in China
Joan Judge
This book develops a new approach to historical change at the turn of the twentieth century, a crucial stage in the unfolding of Chinese modernity. Its focus is on the fraught and momentous woman question, which foregrounded the cultural paradoxes and political aspirations that define the era. Judge probes Chinese approaches to their own past and the modern West (mediated via Japan) through a close examination of the varied cultural and political uses of female biography-a genre with a 2,000-year history in China and a new political salience in the early twentieth century.
