"Women's emancipation was a central goal of the Chinese Communist Party during its formative years. But were male revolutionaries truly committed to women's emancipation? What roles did women activists play in the party structure, and how did they try to transform gender relations? Christina Gilmartin concludes that these early revolutionaries are unwittingly reinscribed central aspects of the dominant patriarchy, creating a contradictory politics of gender that would become a permanent feature of Chinese Communist system." -- from the rear panel blurb.
