Abstract: This chapter introduces the development and status of feminist psychology in China. The first section, “Development of feminism in China,” traces the evolution of feminism from the New Culture Movement of 1910s to the turn of the twenty-first century. The second section, “Chinese feminist psychology,” discusses five important gender issues: gender stereotypes, work–family conflict, women home alone (Líushŏu women in Chinese), domestic violence, and the one-child policy in China. The last section, “Challenges of feminist psychology,” primarily addresses the need for indigenous feminist theories and how to develop interdisciplinary methodology.
