- Brings together articles by scholars and activists in China, Japan, Canada, and the US in multiple disciplines
- Seeks to illuminate the problems and possibilities involved in translating feminism from the metropolitan ‘West’ to a locale rife with its own ideas about gender, class, body and sexuality
- Showcases the centrality of gender in the formation of modern China
- Demonstrates the extent to which translated feminisms — whatever they mean — have transformed the terms in which modern Chinese understand their own subjectivities and histories
