Abstract:

This book explores translation of feminism in China through examining several
Chinese translations of two typical feminist works: The Second Sex (TSS,
Beauvoir 1949/1952) and The Vagina Monologues (TVM, Ensler 1998). TSS exposes
the cultural construction of woman while TVM reveals the pervasiveness of
sexual oppression toward women. The female body and female sexuality
(including lesbian sexuality) constitute a challenge to the Chinese
translators due to cultural differences and sexuality still being a sensitive
topic in China. This book investigates from gender and feminist perspectives,
how TSS and TVM have been translated and received in China, with special
attention to how the translators meet the challenges. Since translation is the
gateway to the reception of feminism, an examination of the translations
should reveal the response to feminism of the translator as the first reader
and gatekeeper, and how feminism is translated both ideologically and
technically in China.
