Drawing on a wealth of previously unexhibited artworks, rare artist’s monographs, women’s journals, personal narratives, diaries, and catalogs of international expositions, Doris Sung not only affirms women’s significant roles as guardian and innovator of traditionalist art forms for a modern nation, but she also reveals their contribution to cultural diplomacy and revaluation of Chinese artistic heritage on the international stage in the early twentieth century UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110798920 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110798920 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110798920/original ER -
