In Confucian Feminism Li-Hsiang Lisa Rosenlee expands the theoretical
horizons of feminism by using characteristic Confucian terms, methods,
and concerns to interrogate the issue of gender oppression and
liberation. With its theoretical roots in the Confucian textual
tradition, this is the first re-imagining of Confucianism that
enriches, and is enriched by, feminism. Incorporating distinctive
Confucian conceptual tools such as ren (benevolent governance), xiao
(filial care), you (friendship), li (ritual), and datong (great
community), Rosenlee creates an ethic of care that is feminist and
Confucian. At the same time she confronts the issue of gender inequity
in Confucian thought. Her hybrid feminist theory not only broadens the
range of feminist understandings of the roots of gender oppression,
but opens up what we believe constitutes gender liberation for women
transnationally and transculturally. Here is a practical ethic that
uses Confucianism to navigate the contours of inequality in everyday
life.
