"Beyond Tradition and Modernity" is a collection of original essays which considers the complexities behind the dramatic changes generated in China at the end of the nineteenth century and exposes the new ideals and ideas voiced by men and women that reflect the changing boundaries of gender at this time.

Gender, Genre, and Cosmopolitanism in Late Qing China

Beyond Tradition and Modernity

The present volume is the result of a Leiden University workshop on women in imperial China by a group of international scholars. In recent years Chinese women and gender studies have attracted more and more attention, and this book is one of the first efforts to focus on major aspects of this subject. It covers a wide range of topics and disciplines, including bibliography, demography, history, legal studies, literature, history of medicine, and philosophy. Chinese Women in the Imperial Past can rightly be seen as connected with the new Brill journal "NAN NU, Men, Women and Gender in Early and Imperial China," which was founded to provide the scholarly community with a lasting forum in which the subject of Chinese women and gender can be dealt with in its own right.
