	5	Gender Justice in the Perspective of Contemporary Feminist Political Philosophy
		GAO Jing-zhu
		John Rawls's theory of justice often gives people the impression of a universal doctrine. Feminism criticizes John Rawls's theory of justice at the level of its reasoning, its basic ideas and its scope of application. Feminism thinks that John Rawls's universalism is a false universalism, in which gender justice is missing. The source of gender justice being missing is the existence of dichotomy between public sphere and private sphere. In order to achieve gender justice, we must overcome this dichotomy.

	22	Characteristics of Gender Role of Women Entrepreneurs
		LI Cheng-yan
		Although there are more men than women in business, but sex itself does not affect entrepreneurship. Real impact on entrepreneurship is the identification of gender roles. There were 225 female entrepreneurs in the sample of present study. The result shows that there are significant differences in gender role identification between women entrepreneurs and ordinary women: less than a quarter of the sample adopt feminine identity while over 50 percent show characteristics of androgyny and masculinity. On the details of the identification of women entrepreneurs, there is a mixture of different levels of masculine features, including competitiveness, strength, autonomy and enterprising, as well as feminine features, such as friendly, empathetic, truthfulness.

	33	Gender and Class: Women's Liberation Movement during the Soviet Era
		SONG Shao-peng
		This article examines why young women of the working class had supported the Soviet regime in relation to their concerns with "land" and "marriage" and how class was embedded in gender and gender embedded in class. The article reveals different attitudes held by the CCP, young women and opponents to women's liberation in the Soviet areas based on two newspaper reports produced in Guomindang governed areas, documents of the CCP, and material of oral accounts. From a methodological point of view, it brings to recognition of how the "narrators' standpoints" affected the evaluation of women's movement and women's subjectivity in the Soviet areas. What the article demonstrates is a valuable heritage that the CCP is concerned with class conflicts and regards the working class women as its social base.

	56	Portraits of Female Body in the Chinese Literature in 1950-1970
		LIU Chuan-xia,JIANG Kai-xuan
		The women’s liberation movement in Mainland China since 1949 had expanded the depth and width of women’s participation in social production. As well, the appearance of “Iron Girl” images as women’s heroines changed the evaluation of women’s capability in society and broke the fixed gender based image of women being weak and helpless. At certain level, it challenged the tradition of gender based division of labor as “men managing outside while women managing inside the households” as well as its cultural values and helped win rights for women to participate in social and public processes. It, moreover, helped change the traditional standards of evaluating women and undermine the traditional female stereotypes. However, the existence of women heroines without female characteristics and female negative characters with distinct female characteristic facial profiles in literary writings again created a dichotomy and inequality in the mythical construction of gender order.

	79	Once in Power: A Gender Analysis of the Female Presidents and Democratic Transition in Southeast Asia
		FAN Ruo-lan, CHEN Yan
		During the process of democratic transition in Southeast Asia, three women became the presidents of their countries. These women presidents faced gender based criticisms, as well as accusations that they were lack of political experience and abilities and not tough enough to carry out national policies, and that they tolerated and encouraged corruption and domineering conduct of their families members, and ignored advancing women's rights. Such hostility might have made their work more difficult and controversial. From the viewpoint of gender, androcentrism of a patriarchal society, the sex division of labour stressing the differences between man and woman, and gender based juxtaposing stereotypes all have deeply influenced the evaluation and perception of male and female presidents, resulting in gender stereotypes and double standards. Female presidents have to confront more criticisms as people judge them by president's standards, on the one hand, and on the other, by female's standards.

	86	TAO Yan-lan

		This paper argues against the claim that the phenomenon of women's request for cesarean section because of being afraid of pain giving rise to high rate of cesarean section in the discourse of culture, technology, power, knowledge and medical systems. It is based on data collected by interviewing method and ten web blogs posted on the BBS of Yaolan website. Many clinicians and researchers have expressed that it is women who cannot bear the pain that leads to the increasing rate of cesarean section. They cite women's requests as the most important factor affecting the rising national rate of cesarean section. This study, however, argues that the "pain," firstly, is probably aggravated by unfriendly hospital environment and excessive medical intervention. Women may have asked for cesarean section out of anxiety. This paper, secondly, tries to present the body politics of women's experiences with birth deliveries in order to identify relationships between women's decision on cesarean section and attitudes of obstetricians as well as the ranking of hospitals.

		SHI Tong,LI Jie
		Female college students are important resources of high-level female human capital. While more and more female students enter college, gender differences in higher education remain an important concern.

It is hoped that our educational system that has been concerned with the cultivation of high-potential female talents could learn from the western experiences.
