This guidebook, whose primary goal is to assist scholars on both sides of the Pacific who may wish to collaborate or consult with one another on topics of mutual interest, offers a preliminary map of the emerging intellectual terrain of Chinese women's studies in the PRC, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It is divided into four parts. The first three analyze the emergence of women's studies scholarship in the PRC, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, respectively, describing the major institutions, organizations, publications, and individuals engaged in that scholarship. The essays are written by feminist scholars from each of the three countries. Following the essays is an extensive bibliography listing approximately 350 entries. These include monographs, edited volumes, and articles by women's studies scholars in the PRC, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. All concern women in these three countries and focus on social science and historical scholarship. This bibliography is intended to represent women's studies scholarship from the 1970s through the present. The bibliography is followed by an index that enables readers to identify entries focusing on specific topics.
