书籍简介：

Finding Women in the State is a provocative hidden history of socialist state feminists maneuvering behind the scenes at the core of the Chinese Communist Party. These women worked to advance gender and class equality in the early People’s Republic and fought to transform sexist norms and practices, all while facing fierce opposition from a male-dominated CCP leadership from the Party Central to the local government. Wang Zheng extends this investigation to the cultural realm, showing how feminists within China’s film industry were working to actively create new cinematic heroines, and how they continued a New Culture anti-patriarchy heritage in socialist film production. This book illuminates not only the different visions of revolutionary transformation but also the dense entanglements among those in the top echelon of the party. Wang discusses the causes for failure of China’s socialist revolution and raises fundamental questions about male dominance in social movements that aim to pursue social justice and equality. This is the first book engendering the PRC high politics and has important theoretical and methodological implications for scholars and students working in gender studies as well China studies.

书友短评：

@ MamboSiku 感觉前半本比后半本有意思。尤其是第二和第三章很值得读，讲妇联在1957和64受到的两次重大打击。很好地刻画了国家和女性之间的相互角力和紧张关系，也揭示了妇女工作是党内的政治斗争中被挤到多么边缘的位置。扣一星是因为我对state feminist的这个概念蛮怀疑的，不知道妇联工作者会怎么看这个标签（听说她们很不屑）。至少我没觉得作者每章描述的这些人除了追求性别平等之外，有什么强烈的逻辑联系。更像是被这个概念套住，把论文集拼成了一本书。 @ Soo Yung 为了解答一些疑问找来本书读完。个人看来，作者对文革前的妇女运动有些过誉了，对改开后的“男女有别”思潮的攻击也显得片面，但无论如何它是一部非常优秀的著作。一味强调女性的工作能力而不将其从家庭责任中解放出来（更重要的是，不改变她们在男性眼中的社会形象），其结果必然是保守思潮的反扑——我相信这是“回归家庭”等叙事在改开后得以迅速卷土重来的根本原因。希望如今推崇上世纪中叶“半边天”、“铁姑娘”等口号和概念的网络女权者，不要走上她们前辈的老路吧。 @ 半人馬的周 感觉前半本比后半本有意思。尤其是第二和第三章很值得读，讲妇联在1957和64受到的两次重大打击。很好地刻画了国家和女性之间的相互角力和紧张关系，也揭示了妇女工作是党内的政治斗争中被挤到多么边缘的位置。扣一星是因为我对state feminist的这个概念蛮怀疑的，不知道妇联工作者会怎么看这个标签（听说她们很不屑）。至少我没觉得作者每章描述的这些人除了追求性别平等之外，有什么强烈的逻辑联系。更像是被这个概念套住，把论文集拼成了一本书。 @ Jingle 社会主义女权史
