China's government has changed dramatically over the past century. With each stage of revolution the position of women has also changed. Through a combination of literary and political sources, the course explores the hopes of Chinese reformers (male and female) on behalf of women and the successes and failures (or sites of resistance to change) they have encountered. Tensions between city and country, communists and capitalists, and mainland China and Taiwan will be of particular interest. Contentious issues like abortion, breastfeeding, retirement, and marriage resistance will also be explored.
