ABSTRACT

Since the New Culture Movement brought Western feminism to China in the early 20th century, feminist awareness has been awakening in China and has been developing locally. With the social changes over decades, feminism has evolved to be more consistent with "local conditions" in different times. However, in the contemporary society, under the cultivation of mass media (e.g., The presentation of "great lady" series) and the Internet, the evolution of local feminism in China has accelerated which led to an unprecedented scale of feminist consciousness and discussion in history.
