Abstract

This chapter focuses on female Chinese director Huang Shuqin (1939-2022) and two of her feature films, Woman Human Demon (1987) and A Soul Haunted by Painting (1994). The first has the reputation of being "the first and only" feminist film from China, while the second is often seen as a commercial film. The author offers her readings of the two films and demonstrates their authorial connections as unique texts in writing women's stories and history.
