Features: As one of the significant trends in the transformation of human gender culture, feminism has taken on a rich and diverse form in various countries worldwide. Building on its extensive social practice, it has demonstrated an open and pluralistic theoretical construction. Feminism strives to achieve women's self-liberation through education, enabling their direct participation in the transformation of human culture. It aims to change the current state of humanity and make it better through ideas and culture rather than through war and violence, hence, feminism holds great significance for constructing a harmonious society. The diversity of feminist thought not only provides us with boundless insights and inspiration for understanding the roots of women's oppression and how gender discrimination intersects with other harmful prejudices against humanity but also offers rich reflections on the relationship between the self and the other in our multicultural era. Chinese feminism is sharp but not aggressive. It explores women's issues, cares for the harmonious development of both genders, and ultimately focuses on the eternal question of "the human." This book, with a focus on history and the present, translation and localization, and the integration of theory and action, combines academic rigor with contemporary relevance, presenting us with a smiling Chinese feminism.
