'Only Women can Change this World into Heaven' Mei Niang, Male Chauvinist Society, and the Japanese Cultural Agenda in North China, 1939-1941
Article Abstract:
Mei Niang is the first modern Chinese writer in the post-May Fourth period, whose heritage forces an assessment of the correlation between colonialism, feminism, and national identity. She describes and exposes the reality of the Chinese women's lives under Japanese occupation in the 'obscure women's rights ideology' and gives a clear picture of the society in which they lived.
