Furthermore, these articles showcase the centrality of gender in the formation of modern China by demonstrating the extent to which translated feminisms - whatever they mean - have transformed the terms in which modern Chinese understand their own subjectivities and histories. This book is essential reading for students, academics and general readers interested in East Asia, comparative women's history, feminist texts and the politics of translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDorothy Ko\u003c\/b\u003e, a native of Hong Kong, is Professor of Chinese History at Barnard College, Columbia University.
