Book Synopsis Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Women by : Yubing Chen
Download or read book Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Women written by Yubing Chen and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 886 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though there exist many biographical dictionaries of the achievements of Chinese people throughout history, few women feature. Since the mid-1980s, researchers from the University of Sydney’s Department of Chinese Studies have been collecting the life stories of women whose academic, professional and technical achievements have had lasting impact on current and future generations. This volume contains over 300 biographies of these women, most of whom were born in China, though some were born abroad to Chinese parents, and some are foreigners whose work has become significant in China. It is in the context of globalisation and a rapidly evolving Chinese society that the Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Women: 1912–2000, is prepared. In the first half of the twentieth century, revolutionaries, political activists and reformers feature. Some are politicians, or who rose to powerful positions within the government. As new technologies and entertainments were developed, the latter half of the century gave birth to fearless female performers and scholars: actresses, dramatists and martial arts stars alongside scientists and lawyers. Throughout the century, the creative work of Chinese women is a constant theme – novelists, directors, painters and poets all feature. This volume is accompanied by an index of names by profession, based on each woman’s most well-known research category, profession or skill; some women will appear in more than one category. To cater for readers who are not experts, this volume also includes a chronology of twentieth-century events. This edition of this work is published in full Chinese characters. A previous volume also in Chinese, The Qing Dynasty 1644–1912, is also available from Sydney University Press.

Book excerpt: This new volume of the "Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Women" spans more than 2,000 years from antiquity to the early seventh century. It recovers the stories of more than 200 women, nearly all of them unknown in the West. The contributors have sifted carefully through the available sources, from the oracle bones to the earliest legends, from Liu Xiang's didactic Biographies to official and unofficial histories, for glimpses and insights into the lives of women. Empresses and consorts, nuns and shamans, women of notoriety or exemplary virtue, women of daring and women of artistic or scholarly accomplishment - all are to be found here. The editors have assembled the stories of women high born and low, representing the full range of female endeavor. The biographies are organized alphabetically within three historical groupings, to give some context to lives lived in changing circumstances over two millennia. A glossary, a chronology, and a finding list that identifies women of each period by background or field of endeavor are also provided.

Book Synopsis Biographical Dictionary of European Labor Leaders by : A. T. Lane
Download or read book Biographical Dictionary of European Labor Leaders written by A. T. Lane and published by Greenwood Publishing Group. This book was released on 1995 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In almost 1,500 biographical entries, this comprehensive, authoritative reference work covers the European labor movement from its origins to the present. The entries are selected from all countries of Europe, from Ireland in the west to Russia in the east and from Finland in the north to Greece in the south. Written by specialists in the labor history of the subject countries, the biographies focus on presenting basic factual information, leaving interpretation and argument to more detailed studies. Entries are arranged alphabetically, irrespective of the country of origin, emphasizing the Europeanness of the project in an era when barriers between European states are being rapidly demolished. A state-by-state breakdown of the entries provides an additional source of information. Labor is defined broadly to include trade unions, political parties, cooperatives, and anarcho-syndicalist groups, but not so broadly as to include state-controlled bodies that lack democratic procedures. A selective, but substantial bibliography provides a guide to further reading. Extensive cross-referencing and a substantial index illustrate the complex links, both intellectual and practical, between labor leaders of different states and regions.
