ABSTRACT

Editorial Note: This is a selective lexicon including those items in this volume which are part of the rich, diverse and sometimes highly contested terminology of Chinese women’s activist culture. We have sought to provide as accurate background information as possible, but this is an on-going process of translation and interpretation, and much work remains to be done. We acknowledge our debt to Sharon Hom and Xin Chunying on whose work we have built (Hom and Xin 1995).
