Abstract

This chapter restates one central tenet of this book, that is, grounding feminist theory production in local research. Through a nuanced analysis of the Chinese socio-cultural locality, this book demonstrates the multi-complexity of gender and identifies the indeterminacy within the gender system, which constrains as well as enables women’s resistance to masculine domination. While sexual politics are embedded in the operations of companies in China’s new market economy and this has gendered consequences for highly educated professional women, a local understanding of sexuality beyond an exclusive focus upon corporeality has reshaped the contour of sexual control and women’s responses in the workplace. I conclude with suggestions for possible new areas of feminist inquiry and agents for social change.
