The Emerging Lesbian: Female Same-Sex Desire in Modern China (Worlds of Desire: The Chicago Series on Sexuality, Gender, and Culture)

By Tze-Lan D. Sang and Tze-Lan Sang

Book Overview

In early 20th-century China, age-old traditions of homosocial and homoerotic relationships between women suddenly became an issue of widespread public concern. Discussed formerly in terms of friendship and sisterhood, these relations came to be associated with feminism, on the one hand, and psychobiological perversion, on the other - a radical shift whose origins have long been unclear.
