About the Book

Redefining space, power, and identity in China's largest internal diaspora In the late imperial period of China, two major historical forces reshaped cultural and social landscapes in ways that have not been explored in depth: the Huizhou mercantile diaspora and the literary ascent of women. Women Writers of Huizhou approaches these converging forces by examining the work and spatial imaginaries of six Huizhou-descended women writers. Rather than being confined by gender regimes often associated with Huizhou and its lineage structures, these women actively navigated transregional networks, staking literary and cultural claims in an era of unprecedented mobility. Their writings - ranging from poetry to political treatises - reveal a profound engagement with space and place. Some women articulated deep ties to Huizhou and places that provided new anchoring for their diasporic families, while others reimagined a cosmic and political order that encompassed far-reaching transregional movements. As the Qing era's commercial and intellectual epicenters shifted, these women leveraged their mobility and literary talents to reshape familial legacies and influence broader discussions of governance, war, and restoration. This book offers an innovative spatial analysis of Qing women's writing, bringing literary studies into dialogue with Huizhou scholarship, diaspora studies, and geography. By revealing how women inscribed themselves into historical and spatial narratives, it repositions Huizhou as a key player in Qing cultural history in connection with the agency of women in shaping China's intellectual traditions. Essential reading for scholars of gender, literature, and history.
