Reviews

This edited volume brings together a set of fascinating studies on women crossing boundaries of various kinds in Chinese literature, art, and film, adding richness and nuance to an expanding field of studies on Chinese women. The book will appeal to general readers and students as well as to scholars interested not only in Chinese women's history but in Asian literatures and cultural histories more broadly. - Binbin Yang, author of Heroines of the Qing: Exemplary Women Tell Their Stories
