摘要
By digging up and combing through the vestiges of Chinese state feminists＇ activities in the first fifteen years of the PRC （1949-64） from historical archives and personal witness, Wang Zheng＇s most recent book Finding Women in the State powerfully challenges and subverts the monotonous and reductive view about socialist China and its gender policy. The book is based on contextualized historical research conducted by the author during a twenty-year span, which notably contains materials gleaned from rare historical archives and the author＇s interviews with early Chinese state feminists.
