Review of Reconceiving Women’s Equality in China: A Critical Examination of Models of Sex Equality

Research output: Contribution to journalLiterature reviewpeer-review

Abstract

Reconceiving Women's Equality in China comprises five sections that guide readers through a dark tunnel of popular views of Chinese women. Yuan invites readers to explore four models of "sex equality": (1) traditional, (2) formal, (3) substantive, and (4) equal opportunity, into which she divides Chinese women's status in both the past and the present. Yuan's bases her first model on a generalization of the Confucian attitude toward women.
