This book develops a new approach to China's transition from "tradition" to "modernity." It focuses on how history was used in the formulation of China's "woman question" - the question of how, or whether, to redefine notions of female virtue, talent, and heroism within a changing world order - at a crucial but poorly understood stage in the unfolding of Chinese modernity, the last decade of imperial rule at the turn of the twentieth century. Using an as yet untapped genre, female biography, "The Precious Raft of History" examines the intimate connections between women, secularization, temporality, and globalization.This book specifically analyzes how turn-of-the-twentieth-century male and female writers, educators, and activists reinterpreted both historical Chinese and modern Western women's biographies to promote their divergent visions of womanhood and nationhood. Judge maps widely varied approaches to the Chinese past and the modern West as manifested in their representations of exemplary lives. She also examines the disjunctions between these representations and actual lives, probing the ways long-standing or newly defined gender categories and political imperatives took on - or failed to take on - efficacy in the women's everyday lives.
