Features: This book outlines the important characteristics and developmental trends of women's liberation thought and movement in China during different historical periods from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution to the establishment of the "Chinese League of Left-Wing Writers," covering an eighty-year span from 1851 to 1930. It discusses how the pioneers of women's liberation evolved from following the footsteps of their fathers and elder brothers to achieving true independence for women, the emergence and eventual establishment of the "vessel" of modern female literature, and other unprecedented developments. By connecting these elements, the historical trajectory of women's liberation thought and literature in China during these eighty years becomes clearly visible.
