Abstract:
“Clear, coherent, richly documented, and highly persuasive. I know of no other source devoted
exclusively to the topic of Chinese women’s biographies, and I am confident that this book will
have a ready audience in the China field and beyond.” Paul Ropp, Clark University
“In addition to Liu Xiang’s Lienü zhuan, the Urtext of Chinese women’s biography, this rich trove
of essays explores previously unexamined biographical genres and mines literary texts for their
biographical potential. It will be of great value to scholars interested in women’s history, life-
writing, and biography, both in the China field and in comparative contexts.” Grace S. Fong, McGill
University
This volume develops new strategies for reading, contextualizing, and interpreting the long
Chinese tradition of women’s biography. Drawing upon a vast array of sources—from formal
biography to poetry, letters, and oral interviews—the authors examine how women’s biography
served particular cultural, political, and world-making projects, and how it illuminates these projects
in new ways by highlighting tensions within and between them.

East Asian languages and literatures at the University of California, Irvine.
