While current scholarly has labeled the 1911 Revolution a virtual 'non-event' and the early Republic a political failure, the micro-historical view offered by the Chinese periodical press presents a much different perspective. Reversing orthodox academic practice, this book considers the realm of high politics as ephemeral and the institutions, associations, and practices of the reading and viewing public as the site of enduring and historical significance. The book centers on a selection of extraordinary photographic portraits taken from the periodical Funü shibao, one of the few journals to straddle the 1911 divide and remain in print through the early Republican period"--Provided by publisher Analysis 20th century asian history 20th century chinese history china chinese revolution commercial culture commercial press gender studies gender trends government and governing historical history journal funu shibao last imperial dynasty modernization of china national unity nationalism new national government political power qing dynasty republic of china republicanism retrospective revolution of 1911 revolution revolutionaries social change womens eastern times wuchang uprising xinhai revolution Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Women -- China -- Social conditions -- 20th century Periodicals -- Publishing -- China -- History -- 20th century HISTORY -- Asia -- China.
