Features: This work provides a panoramic description of the status of women in the world and China to date, as well as future trends. The book is divided into three parts: , the living conditions of women, covering political participation, employment, education, family, health, safety, customs, and concepts; second, women's movements, including every wave of the women's movement and the second wave, various feminist, radical feminist, postmodern feminist, and other feminist schools; third, new concerns and future developments of contemporary women's movements, including special care and protective legislation for women, the issue of women returning home, gender identity issues, issues of sexuality and pornography, problems of violence, sexual harassment, and prostitution, epistemological and methodological issues, etc.; finally, it predicts the future development prospects of women in the world and China in the 21st century. The Rise of Women's Power is a compendium-style book. I collected all the available materials on women's studies that I could find at the time and organized them into a comprehensive review. This writing style is uncommon for me—I prefer the method of conducting empirical research on a specific topic. This book can serve as an introductory text for women's studies, saving readers the trouble of widely reading and searching for research materials related to women's issues. For a broad non-professional audience, it is also a shortcut to understanding various situations and debates related to women.
