The first part is concerned with Gender and Women's Studies of a distinctively Chinese character. Current Chinese social structure contains the binary framework: rural and urban. P, ural women's situations are being greatly changed since male laborers went in large numbers to work in the cities and have caused great concern among scholars. To build a "Harmomous Society," more attention has been paid to the study of gender and ethnic equality. Scholars have analyzed and discussed the remaining gender and ethnic inequalities existent in the actual society. The second part is women's lives in literary history, which were usually darkened by textual silence, despite China's rich ancient literature. To reinterpret Chinese traditional literature, discovering women's history and listening to women's voices has also become a major undertaking. The third part of the article summarizes the Chinese scholars' dilemma. On one hand, scholars have benefited from the rise of Western feminist theories; on the other hand, they are also disturbed that China's Women's Studies have been marginalized by such a strong Western feminist discourse. Chinese scholars have been trying to develop indigenous knowledge and to create a theoretical system with its focus on Chinese women, thereby breaking through the stereotype of the West versus the East or the center versus the periphery, and to communicate equally with Western scholars.展开更多
