Description

Explore the complex history of female performance in China through The Women of Quyi: Liminal Voices and Androgynous Bodies. This scholarly work examines the unique position of the quyi community, a group of female singers in Republican Tianjin who achieved success and respect during a period when other female performers faced significant social barriers. This book investigates why the female voice has inspired both fascination and ambivalence throughout history. It looks at the restrictions placed on women performing on the Chinese public stage and how male performers have appropriated female roles and voices in various theatrical traditions. By looking at the intersection of gender, voice, and body, this text provides a deep look into the social standing of artists within Chinese performance history. Based on original ethnographic fieldwork, this study offers a detailed perspective on how these women navigated their professional lives and maintained their status as respected artists. It is a vital resource for those studying Chinese music, gender studies, and theatrical history.
