Abstract
In the recently published Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Chinese Philosophy and Gender, editor Ann A. Pang-White has put together a significant and robust contribution to the field. The anthology features eighteen chapters and a substantial introduction, organized into four main sections: ancient and medieval Confucian approaches, modern and contemporary Confucian approaches, Daoist approaches, and Buddhist approaches. The volume has contributions from new and established authors from the United States, Europe, Australia, and East Asia, and contributions that range across a number of disciplinary fields such as philosophy, gender studies, anthropology, Chinese studies, and religious studies. As a detailed review of so many different essays is impossible in this format, in what follows I begin by discussing Pang-White's introduction, then give a brief overview of the text, and conclude with my thoughts on the text's contributions to feminist philosophy.
