Altogether, Translating Feminism in China: Gender, sexuality and censorship offers a vast panorama of the position of translation, sexuality and feminism in China today, thus opening up a much-needed debate on these topics. And, more importantly perhaps, it places Chinese growing research alongside the research carried out in other places of the world, thus filling a rather large gap in translation (and sexuality) studies.
