The Emerging Lesbian: Female Same-Sex Desire in Modern China (Worlds of Desire)

Rating:
Summary: An important study
Review: Professor Sang's book makes original and insightful observations concerning feminism, gender and sexuality in greater Chinese culture. Significant archival research on texts ranging from early European sexology to modern journalism combines with close reading of prominent authors from Taiwan and China in this unique volume. Highly recommended to anyone who wishes to understand how ideas such as lesbianism and homosexuality were transplanted from West to East, and how they have evolved in modernity.
