Women Writers of Huizhou: Imaginaries of Space and Place in Qing China

＂Women Writers of Huizhou explores the convergence of two major historical trends in late imperial China, the diaspora of mercantile lineages from Huizhou and women’s rise to literary prominence, through the lens of Huizhou women writers. This book shows how increasing social and physical mobilities inspired Huizhou-descendent women writers to make new space-based claims regarding their cultural identities, their familial legacies, and the cosmological ordering of the world＂-- Provided by publisher.
