Dr. Shao's FSP 164 course focuses on four major themes:
- Women and the Family in Chinese Tradition
- Chinese Women in Reform and Revolution
- Love, Marriage, and Sexuality in Mao’s China
- New Challenges in Women/Family life Post Mao
The following subject searches reveal books and other resources about women in the Chinese tradition; women's participation in political reform and revolution; domesticity, family, and marriage including the one-child policy; gender and sexuality; and women in post-Mao China.
