Research on Women in Politics Working for Women's Political Participation——Discourse and the Establishment of Subjectivity
YANG Jing
Ideally, women in politics work for women's political participation. In reality, however, women in politics have not become the subjective awareness of women's political participation. This paper adopts critical theory and post-structural feminist theory to examine the history of women's political participation and to show why there has not been the awareness of political participation among women in Mainland China. It concludes that if there lacks a discourse on women's political participation, women politicians may not become the subjective awareness of women's political participation.

Influence of Educational Attainment on Migrants' Selection of Destination: A Gendered Perspective
NIU Jian-lin
Using data from the 2010 Survey on the Status of Chinese Women, this study examines the impacts of migrants' educational attainment on their selection of destination from a gendered perspective. The results show that migrants with higher educational attainments are more likely to choose a destination within the province. This relationship is significant mainly for women migrants. Overall, interregional migration has been more predominant, as it is told by first time migrants, than intra-provincial migration. Yet this trend is showing subtle changes in recent years, when there is an increasing share of new migrants choosing to migrate intra-provincially, rather than inter-regionally, since 2009.

Protection of Women's Rights during the Exercise of Police Power: From the Perspective of Several Criminal Cases
ZHENG Xi
The exercise of police power may affect the rights of the "opposite party", especially women victims and suspects. Therefore, more emphasis should be placed on the protection of women's rights. This paper examines the relationship between women victims or suspects and the police and relevant issues with the protection of rights, especially when women are in custody. However, these issues have not been given enough attention by the government and public. Studying typical criminal cases may help achieve gender equality in judicial practice through the protection of women's rights.

')" href="#">
WANG Xiao-li, LI Hui-ying
In the process of rural land enclosure movements, the uxorilocally married women’s land rights have been expropriated in most cases. This paper takes the most well-known uxorilocally married women of Nanning as a case study. Along with the land enclosure, a gendered identification has been put in practice through the "majority decision" rule in the Village Autonomy, which brings a challenge for local governments while facing political stress of maintaining stability. Recommendations: integrate gender issues into the agricultural and rural training, support the establishment of women's organizations, carry out capacity building training for women; clarify membership of the rural collective economic organizations, ensure gender equality in land compensation mechanism, protect women’s participation in the village public affairs, from information, participation, decision-making to supervision; strengthen legal constraints to village regulations, ensure local governments’ coercive power in correcting village rules in violation of the laws and policies, effectively change the traditional patriarchy resource allocation rules.

Suggestions for How to Name Feminist Sociology in China
SHAN Ling-han
The name of a discipline is an important component of the discourse of a discipline. Different names reflect different understandings among scholars and changes overtime, playing an important role in development of the discipline. In Mainland China, apart from female sociology, women's sociology, feminist sociology and gender sociology also commonly appear. This paper addresses the questions such as: what are the origins of these names? How are they understood, accepted and rejected? What are the causes? What are the challenges and issues?

Women's Reading in the Han Dynasty
GU Li-hua
Moved by the mainstream culture women of different social standings also participated in the mass reading movement in the Han Dynasty. Women's reading in the Han dynasty had its own characteristics difference with men's. Despite the positive meaning that reading had for women, women's reading in the Han dynasty had its limitations. Women's reading in the Han dynasty did not go beyond the constraints of the mainstream culture that was still ruled by social norms hostile to women. Women's participation in reading did not help them rid the Confucian gender order of "men ruling the outside while women rule the inside of homes" and instead, intensified women's identity with the role of mother.

Rise and Fall of Women's Body Arts in Contemporary China: "Human Models" in the Nationalist Period
')" href="#">
ZENG Yue
During the Nationalist period, women's body arts finally established its independent form in arts after ten years of debates in society. This helped, at some levels, draw clear boundaries between esthetics of women's body arts and morality and establish women's new body esthetics. While there was an emphasis on developing the body arts as a specialization, it also became an entertaining art form among artists themselves. As artists avoided or were unaware of sexual rights issues, they could not confront discrimination and demonization of women's bodies in traditional practices. They also failed to link body arts with rights and started female nude as a subject of crowd spectators in contemporary China. In the end, women were pressured to fall in the name of arts.

The Eternal Dialectics between the Self and the Other: Debates in Contemporary Feminist Ethics
DAI Xue-hong
Since the 1980s feminist ethicists engaged in a debate on the "ethics of justice as opposed to the ethics of care" and the concepts of "the self and the other". This paper examines the background, the origin, the focus and development tendencies of the debate and discusses the following three issues: how to redefine ethics, the self and the other. It suggests that the goals of the debate in feminist ethics are to challenge the core concepts of modernity, reshape the scope of analysis and transform the traditional paradigms of modern discourse, posing a dilemma to universalism represented by Habermas.

Gender and Ethics: Rewriting Difference, Bodies and Language
WANG Nan
Reviving the latest debates on sexual difference, the body and subjectivity through the work of Sartre, Beauvoir, Irigaray and Butler, this article seeks to engrave an intersectional facet between gender and ethics to contemplate dilemma and challenges facing feminist critique. It argues that the efforts of post-structural feminists to dissolve gender-based difference, unveil materiality of the body, and to construct the subjectivity of language have contributed to an ethical advancement of contemporary gender theory as well as an understanding of what is closest to share true humanity.

Mom is the Best: Unban Women's Identity with Motherhood and Constructions of the Good Mother
TAO Yan-lan
Based on the interviews with 7 married women with children under the age of 6, This study explore how mothers construct their own accounts of good motherhood. Most of city women believe that the mother is important and absolutely necessary for child. Whether mother meets children' demands or not relates to children's development and future. This identity with motherhood is influenced by traditional gendered ideology, workplace rules and scientific knowledge about parenting. Married women in this sample construct their own good mother identity by accessibility, such as "being there" and "psychological and emotional accessibility", and Coordinated Care. The former consolidate the situation of feminization and marketization of childcare. The latter go beyond the rules of motherhood and break free from the confinement in which mothers are regarded as the most important or sole caregivers.

Conceptual Approaches to Gender Mainstreaming in the World——Discussion Based on Beyond Gender Mainstreaming
DU Jie
Both women's movements and governments have attached a great importance to studies of gender mainstreaming ever since it was endorsed as a global strategy to promote gender equality in 1995. This paper reviews recent studies on gender mainstreaming by gender and development academia. I argue that different approaches yield contrasting views on the progress of gender mainstreaming. While a position on changes in public administration and policy suggests a historical improvement in gender equality worldwide, a perspective of social transformation discerns limited impact of gender mainstreaming, if at all, in bringing about fundamental changes in gender relations. To further gender mainstreaming in face of challenges and opportunities, there is a need to integrate different conceptual frameworks and approaches, explore comprehensive methods of organizational capacity building and strengthen the role of women's movements and organizations in promoting gender equality.
