Features: This book outlines the important characteristics and developmental trends of Chinese women's liberation thought and movement during different historical periods from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution to the establishment of the "Chinese Left-Wing Writers League," covering the eighty years 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 of the "nascent body" of modern women's literature, and its eventual establishment. By connecting these unprecedented elements, the historical trajectory of Chinese women's liberation thought and literature during these eighty years becomes clearly visible.
