A Dangerous Liaison: Theorizing the Relationship between American Second-wave Feminism and the Neo-liberal Capitalist Globalization
SU Hong-jun
Since the turn of the century, there has been a serious rethinking of mainstream feminist development both in the United States and the world, especially on the American second-wave feminist movement since the 1970s. The article is a survey of critiques focusing on the relationship between second-wave feminism and the neo-liberal capitalism, mainly by Marxist, anti-racism and anti-imperialism feminist scholars. These critiques investigate major goals,strategies and organization of mainstream feminist movements, in order to understand how they have been manipulated by neo-liberal capitalism, thus becoming an integral component of its global economic restructuring and American hegemony over the world.

Analysis And Views On The Practical Promotion Of The Equality Of Gender
LI Xiao-dong
The development of equality between men and women is an essential attribute of the Marxist theory of women's liberation. Equality between men and women is an important objective of women's development, a yardstick to measure social progress, and an important consistent claim of the CCP. Equality between men and women was written into the report of the 18th National Congress of CCP as a basic state policy, which has profound significance for the improvement of women's social status and the promotion of equality between men and women. This article starts with the relationship between the Marxist theory of women's liberation and the policy of equality between men and women so as to identify the significance of equality between men and women. The article also discusses the challenges this policy faces, and explores effective ways to promote it.

The Influence of Gender Awareness on Female Graduate Students' Academic Achievement: Findings from the Third National Survey on the Status of Chinese Women
LI Jie, WANG Ying, SHI Tong
Female graduate students are potentially a reserve force of future high-level talents. This paper reveals, however, that the learning outcome of female university graduate students has been declining based on the Third National Survey on the Status of Chinese Women. Moreover, it is also found that there is generally a lack of creativity, ambition, and innovation in acquiring social resources among female graduate students. They seem to hold a conservative view of gender roles. Through the Structural Equation Modeling, this study shows that lack of gender awareness among female graduate students has affected their creativity, innovation, and even motivation for academic achievements.

Relationships between Wives' Relative Income and Risk of Divorce
ZHANG Hui-ping
The purpose of the present study was to examine the moderating effect of marital quality on the relationship between wives' relative income and risk of divorce. 763 urban married women with children in Beijing were selected through the school-base to complete the questionnaire. The results show that after controlling for age, education and family income, wives' relative income is positively associated with their probability of divorce, that is, higher-earning wives have reported higher divorce probability than those who earn less and equal as the men. And marital satisfaction and positive marital interaction is affected by the interaction between wives' income relative to family income and its effect on risk of divorce.

Equal Protection of the Property Rights of the Husband and the Wife: Gender Analysis of the Judicial Interpretations of the Marriage Law of China
PENG Yan-chong
The equal protection of the property rights of the husband and the wife is a main principle in marriage law. According to the principle of property rights, the judicial interpretations of the Marriage Law distinguish the property shared by the husband and the wife from personal property rights, giving equal division and protection to the former, in order to guide the resolution of emerging issues in the application of the Law. However, from a gender perspective, this paper argues that the above judicial interpretations, which appear to hold a gender-neutral standing, have actually overlooked women's disadvantaged position in the family and society, one that has prevented women from protecting their property rights effectively. Therefore, the judges should not rule simply based on the above judicial interpretations. They should observe the relative principles and regulations of the Marriage Law, and uphold justice and equity to provide the needed protection to women in actual judicial deliveries.

The Blind Spots and Improvement in Legislation on Protecting the Labor Rights of Female Dispatched Workers
LI Li-xin
In recent years, labor-dispatching has been a popular practice that expands on contract labor in local areas. It promotes the developments of enterprises and employment. It, however, has also brought forth negative impact on workers' rights and interests. Especially, women dispatched workers, due to their special identity, face unequal treatment in the form of unequal pay for equal work. They also experience the "3 periods" in which they might be sent back and other special unfair treatment. There exists unclear definition of responsibilities in the protection of the rights and interests of female dispatched workers. There is an urgent need to overcome the blind spots in the legislative and judicial protection of these women's labor rights.

Disempowerment and Empowerment: Reports on Li Yang's Perpetration of Domestic Violence and Media Representations of All Gender-based Violence
FENG Yuan
Li Yang's perpetration of domestic violence has been a case on which media has provided continuing, massive and concentrated reporting over the past year. In between, there was other gender-based violence incidents that were reported and that sent shock waves across society, including Zhou Yan who disfigured the female partner's face with acid and the "timid husband". This paper raises a few issues with the reports of Li Yang's perpetration of domestic violence and the reporting of other 'hot' cases, in order to identify how "disempowerment" and "empowerment" have been reflected in the media reports. It draws on the experience of the Network against Domestic Violence with monitoring media reporting on gender-based violence to engage media in promoting women's empowerment.

Narrative of "Domestic Violence" in Media's Discourse on "Li Yang's Domestic Violence Incident"
')" href="#">
TANG Jin-ying
This paper identifies four stages and their related characteristics in the narratives of "domestic violence" throughout the discourse of media reporting on "Li Yang's Domestic Violence Incident" from the perspective of historical social transition. It argues that the above discourse is biased and that the issue of "inequality in gender-based power relations" in the events of domestic violence has not been brought into public scrutiny and discussion. Therefore, the reporting of domestic violence is de-gendered and depoliticized.

Between the Family and the State, Women's "Clay Rice-Bowl" during the Great Leap Forward Movement
')" href="#">
TANG Xiao-jing
As a symbol of women's emancipation, and also an important state's political mobilization in the 1950's and 1960's, urban women's employment during the Great Leap Forward is a worthy subject of study for understanding gender, labor system and the power of the governing party. This paper analyses women's casual and subcontract type of employment as a form of 'clay rice-bowl' from a perspective of the interaction between the State and the family, and the individual and women. It suggests that this type of women's employment came into being, in actuality, as a reserved cheap labour force against the dominant form of "iron rice bowl" state-ownership employment. However, under the ideology of equality between men and women, it was established as the symbol of "women's emancipation".

Muslin Women, Sports Participation, and Body Culture
YANG Yu-hua, QIU Jun, XU Bo, SU Ning
：In a muslin world, the relationships among female, body, sport, and culture are complex, and the complexity exists in history. In Islamic classical teachings, female sport and religion were not mutually exclusive. The issue lies in women's body that should be obscured are exposed in sports. As time goes by, muslin women are striving for progress in elite sports and sports for all, and began to win recognition in society. Muslin women are leaping over the sex segregation through sports. Meanwhile, sports participation is becoming one area where muslin women are exposed to western and secular forces, and female muslin immigrants enter into the mainstream society.

Gendered Gaze: Feminist Film Criticism and Female Spectatorship
FENG Peng-peng
：Gaze has become a key word of film studies since 1970s when cinematic apparatus theory developed. This paper starts with Laura Mulvey's argument of "male gaze" proposed in her groundbreaking research based on her psychoanalytical study of classical Hollywood cinema. Mulvey's ignorance of female pleasure and female spectatorship has been recognized in feminist responses. Recent feminist research has taken into consideration women's cinema, female characters, genre films of male as sexual objects, and racial differences to discuss the multiple ways in which women see films. This research has become a window for self-reflection and complexity of feminist scholarship.

Manifest Domesticity: The American Protestant Women Missionary Movement to China and Its Gendered Logic
ZHU Hua
Protestant missionary movement in China lasted for more than a century and more than half of the missionaries were women, whose enterprise abroad seemed to have come into conflict with the traditional ideology of separate spheres and true womanhood. Manifest Domesticity as a theory exposes how women's domesticity strikes a discursive conspiracy with masculine Manifest Destiny and legitimatizes women's missionary effort abroad. The missionary women took care of public and domestic affairs at the same time. They conveyed to the American public that their true womanhood was realized in a discourse of religious self-sacrifice abroad, an effort that helped them assume a social identity of androgyny.

Living Room Factory and Rural Women in the Context of Rural Industrialization——Based on Study of Li Village in Hebei Province
REN Shou-yun
Based on study of Li Village in Hebei Province, this paper analyzes the situation of rural women involved in "living room factory", a special industrial form emerging in the context of rural industrialization. Influenced by the burden of family care and commodified living costs, rural women are forced to participate in the production of "living room factory". "Living room factory" lies at the bottom of the supply chain, providing rural women very limited benefits. Mainstream discourse and narratives which use "factory without walls" phrase and other expressions of "living room factory" to emphasize positive effects on driving forward rural development and improving rural women' welfare need to be questioned. The real logic is rural industrialization that integrates rural young and middle-aged men into migrant work outside of local areas, and mobilizes rural women who are left behind in the village to also engage in profit-making activities. The main beneficiary is the capital, not the peasants. This paper argues that in the process of rural industrialization, it's necessary to give more consideration to rural women and untie their shackles.

Female Cross-border Marriage Immigrants: Case Studies of Foreign Brides in Taiwan
WAN Hui, ZHU Hong, TANG Xue-qiong
A large number of Southeast Asian brides have been married into Taiwan since the 1990s. Most research has attributed it to the "commercialization of marriage", a rising trend that is closely related to the imbalance in global capital structure and the profit-seeking behavior among marriage brokers. In the meantime, more criticism is leveled at political institutions and mass media, accusing the authorities of making foreign brides as a "stigma", and disregarding their rights, leading towards the social exclusion of female marriage immigrants in daily life. However, with their own agency, Southeast Asian brides have brought about a multicultural landscape in Taiwan. Through the introduction of Taiwan scholars' study, this paper hopes to provide useful lessons for Mainland Chinese research.
