Description

The phenomenon of the "modern girl, " which emerged worldwide during the 1920s and the 1930s, is a significant reference for the study of the modern city from the perspective of gender. This paper analyzes the development of modern girls in China from the perspective of the female self, expounding on women and their strategies in the semi-colonial context. In Linloon Magazine, both Western and Japanese female images were used to depict the modern girl. In the mid-1930s, Chinese urban women attached the physical liberation of women to the national cause, thus holding nationalism off and endowing the Western modern girl with the same discourse logic, disguising the evidence of colonialism. At the same time, the Japanese modern girl, who emerged on the eve of war, was illustrated as "a good wife and loving mother" to address the tense situation of the time. In short, female subjectivity in modern China pursues modernity and displays it in a tug-of-war with nationalism and colonialism.
