      ABSTRACT

      The Routledge Handbook of East Asian Gender Studies presents up-to-date theoretical and conceptual developments in key areas of the field, taking a multi-disciplinary and comparative approach.

      Featuring contributions by leading scholars of Gender Studies to provide a cutting-edge overview of the field, this handbook includes examples from China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong and covers the following themes:

        • theorising gender relations;
        • women’s and feminist movements;
        • work, care and migration;
        • family and intergenerational relationships;
        • cultural representation;
        • masculinity; and
        • state, militarism and gender.

      This handbook is essential reading for scholars and students of Gender and Women’s Studies, as well as East Asian societies, social policy and culture.
