Includes bibliographies and index.
Feminist discourses and women's movements under Japanese colonial rule, 1895-1945 -- The Kuomintang policies on women and government-affiliated women's organizations -- Hsiu-lien Annette Lu : the pioneering stage of the postwar autonomous women's movement and the democratic opposition, 1972-79 -- Lee Yuan-chen and Awakening, 1982-89 -- The autonomous women's movement and feminist discourse in the post-martial law era.
This book is the first in English to consider women's movements and feminist discourses in twentieth-century Taiwan. Doris T. Chang examines the way in which Taiwanese women in the twentieth century selectively appropriated Western feminist theories to meet their needs in a modernizing Confucian culture. She illustrates the rise and fall of women's movements against the historical backdrop of the island's contested national identities, first vis-à-vis imperial Japan (1895-1945) and later with postwar China (1945-2000). --From publisher's description.
