Recenzje

"A fascinating study of important women artists in early twentieth-century China. Diving into museums, private collections and reams of contemporary popular press, Doris Sung unearthed previously overlooked women's artworks and demonstrated the key role they played in shaping the art world and gender positioning in modern China, as well as in cultural diplomacy on the international stage. Especially illuminating is the author's focus on how traditional art forms such as embroidery, ink painting and calligraphy were creatively employed by the women artists as valid resources for responding to modernity." - Hu Ying, Professor for East Asian Studies, University of California, Irvine

"Doris Sung makes a clear and powerful argument for the influential contributions made by women embroiderers and traditionalist painters during the 1900s to 1930s, which shaped national and international developments at a critical juncture in China's history. This book is an enlightening read for all who are interested in learning about the pioneering women artists of this time period, and it will undoubtedly serve as a critical resource for scholars and teachers of Chinese art." - Christina Yuen Zi Chung, University of Washington
