This book is compiled based on dialogues between Professor Li Xiaojiang, a key founder of contemporary Chinese women's studies and gender studies, and scholars from abroad. The author adheres to a local and folk-oriented approach, continuing and innovating upon traditional Chinese culture, thus forging a different path from Western feminism. In her "cross-cultural" dialogues with scholars from dozens of countries across Asia, the Americas, and Europe, she not only fulfills the desire of people from different cultural and social backgrounds to gain an in-depth understanding of China through the "window" of women but also meets the practical need for Chinese scholars to use the topic of women to further the external world's acceptance and understanding of "China." Within a broad perspective and narrative structure, it presents a unique landscape of cross-cultural human society research.
