Eleven chapters attempt to analyze this phenomenon and explain how grass roots women's organizations impacted the state and the society as a whole. Among the topics featured are the importation of Western concepts of feminism and queer rights to China, women's organizations' relationships to the Chinese diaspora, the growth of NGOs, and case studies of two organizations. Also included in the volume are transcripts of some related conversations stemming from the July 1999 Oxford U. workshop that served as the basis for this work. Annotation c.
