The Suicide of Miss Xi. Democracy and Disenchantment in the Chinese Republic, Hardback/Bryna Goodman

When a young woman killed herself in the office she shared with her employer in 1920s Shanghai, the city reeled in shock. Xi Shangzhen became a symbol of the failures of the Chinese Republic as well as the broken promises of citizens' rights, gender equality, and financial prosperity that were betokened by liberal democracy and capitalism.
