| Abstract | The writer examines the feminine images in the ancient Chinese Taoist classic the Tao Te Ching, considering their relationship to contemporary Western poststructuralist feminist theories on sex and gender. She demonstrates how poststructuralist feminist theories on sex and gender and the Tao Te Ching's views on the feminine can inform each other on the problem of femininity. |
