Reviews / Votes
"The author has amassed an impressive body of material to address a myriad of issues relating to cross-dressing and gender representation on the Chinese stage. Chinese opera offers rich soil for interpretation, and this fascinating subject has rarely been treated in such a scope." - Professor Bell Yung, Director of Asian Studies Program and Professor of Music, University of Pittsburgh"More details
