"Political change has taken most of the limelight in studies on China since 1949. Yet many other areas of life have been revolutionized, as Evans′s perceptive study of women and sexuality in China shows. Her book is scholarly and innovative, yet highly readable. She breaks new ground in showing why gender relationships are of central importance for the revolutionary state." Delia Davin, University of Leeds
"Women and Sexuality in China is an important book. It disrupts many of our commonsense understandings of sexuality in socialist China: that the 1950s were a time of puritanical silence, for instance, or that the 1980s brought unfettered liberatory conversation on sexual matters. With skilful use of popular and scientific texts, Evans shows us that there has always been talk about sex in the People′s Republic of China, and that state concerns continue to shape sexuality in the growing market economy. This is a subtle and nuanced work that greatly enhances our understanding of the connections between sex, gender, and changing visions of modernity in China." Gail Hershatter, University of California, Santa Cruz
"Harriet Evans uses an impressively wide range of sources – the official and popular press, women′s magazines, sex manuals and surveys and medical advice pamphlets – to define and differentiate the various attitudes towards sex in modern China and then sets them in their cultural and political context ... She makes an important contribution to the understudied subject of sex and sexuality in China ... compelling reading." The Times Literary Supplement
"Thoroughly researched ... throughout this important study, Evans traces consistent threads, and significant shifts, in the representation of women and sexuality in the nearly fifty years of communist rule." China Information
"[A] path–breaking study ... [and] a welcome contribution to the literature. This is both an erudite and imaginative study making full use of the author′s considerable language skills, interviews in and long experience of China which ... allows her sensitively to balance and carefully to document her arguments ... [It] deserves a wide audience." The Times Higher Education Supplement
"Timely and well–researched book." China Q
"Essential reading." The China Journal
"This is a remarkable book, which gives textual and anecdotal support to the intuitions of most female China watchers. The notes, references and index are all excellent aids for the serious reader and contribute to an impressive, instructive work." Journal of Gender Studies
