Gender Trouble's Afterlife in Chinese Studies
As anyone who has written a book can tell you, when you finally finish wrestling with it and it is confined between covers, or tucked away in e-book form, it goes on to have an afterlife, sometimes quite a complicated one, which the author may glimpse only in intermittent and fragmentary form. An original and provocative book such as Judith Butler's Gender Trouble will travel to places its author never anticipated and become embroiled in conversa…
The Gender of Memory: Rural Women and China’s Collective Past
What can we learn about the Chinese revolution by placing a doubly marginalized group—rural women—at the center of the inquiry? In this book, Gail Hershatter explores changes in the lives of seventy-two elderly women in rural Shaanxi province during the revolutionary decades of the 1950s and 1960s. Interweaving these women’s life histories with insightful analysis, Hershatter shows how Party-state policy became local and personal, and how it affe…
Women and China's Socialist Construction, 1949-78
The chapter that follows is excerpted from my book Women and China's Revolutions (Rowman and Littlefield, 2019), which asks: 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? Women and China's Revolutions takes a close look at the places where the Big History of recognizable events intersects with the daily lives of ordinary people, using gender as its analytic l…
Women and China's Revolutions
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 ev…
Gender in History and Memory: A Conversation With Gail Hershatter
Interviewer’s Note:Among Western scholars, Gail Hershatter is one of the very few who conducted extended research in China right after such fieldwork became possible when the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) ended. Dr. Hershatter spent two years at Nankai University (1979–1981), collecting sources for her dissertation on Tianjin workers of the first half of the twentieth century. Her liuxuesheng (study abroad) life left undeletable marks in her ac…
Disquiet in the House of Gender
When I was a child at the height of the Cold War, the press painted China in vivid primary colors-red menace, yellow peril, blue-clad masses. China was a back-burner story, however, compared to the Soviet threat, and my education through high school never touched upon it. A shift in public attention began with the 1971 China visit of the U.S. ping-pong team and Nixon's state visit in February 1972. Suddenly the mainstream U.S. press discovered be…

Chinese History: A Useful Category of Gender Analysis
FOR CHINA SCHOLARS, JOAN SCOTTrr's WORK has been less a roadmap than a working guide on how to bushwhack and read partially obscured tracks. The specific ways in which Scott's insights might be applied depend on the terrain, as well as the eye of the explorer. Gender as scholarly practice, no less than as category, requires historical analysis. In recent China scholarship, gender (the concept) has proven extremely productive of new knowledge in b…
Women in China's Long Twentieth Century

In the process, the book offers keen analytic insights and judgments about the works themselves and the evolution of related academic fields. The result is both a practical bibliographic tool and a …

The Hierarchy of Shanghai Prostitution, 1870-1949
Shanghai has been called key to modern China (Murphey, 1953) because of its rapid expansion in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, its importance as an industrial and commercial center, its extensive exposure to foreign economic and cultural influences, and its role as a hotbed of the radical politics that eventually shaped the Chinese revolution. Yet although recent scholarship has done a great deal to illuminate various aspects of Shanghai'…

Dramatic and far-reaching changes have occurred in the lives of Chinese women in the years since the death of Mao and the fall of the Gang of Four During the decade of the Cultural Revolution, attention to personal life was regarded as 'bourgeois'; in the post-Mao decade, abrupt turns in public policy made discussion of personal life imperative, and nowhere has this been more evident than in the debate about the role of women in Chinese society. …

Making a Friend: Changing Patterns of Courtship in Urban China
COURTSHIP IN CHINA has recently become visible to foreigners. Tourists five years ago often returned from the People's Republic wondering about the hidden rituals of love and marriage. Today, they are more likely to comment on the hundreds of people lined up two-by-two every evening along the Bund in Shanghai, or the amorous couples hidden behind every bush in Beijing's Purple Bamboo Park. The change in courtship patterns is not entirely in the e…
