  • Ling Lung Women's Magazine: Shanghai, 1931 to 1937

    Digitized images of this publication, which "was published in the 1930s in Shanghai, China at a time when womens role in society, at least in that sophisticated and foreign-influenced metropolis, was in rapid transition." The magazine boldly featured "articles on fashion, interior decoration, pop psychology, and new careers and also advice columns on love, sex, and marriage, as well as lavish illustrations of local and Hollywood celebrities. The wide array of advertisements for womens products are often just as revealing of life and aspirations as the words of the text. In short, the magazine is a gold mine for students of twentieth-century Chinese social history, and a balance to much of the prevailing literature which tends to emphasize only the political interests of the youth of that generation."
