L’ensemble des articles composant cet ouvrage concerne l’idéologie et la mythologie de la femme au xixe siècle. La première partie résulte des travaux, à la fois personnels et collectifs, du Centre d’Études « Littérature et idéologies au xixe siècle » de l’Université de Lyon II, qui s’est intéressé plus particulièrement à l’idéologie de la femme dans l’histoire écrite, dans la littérature et dans le journalisme ; la seconde partie est liée à l’enseignement donné en Licence à l’Université de Lyon II : elle retrouve les mêmes thèmes, mais transmués dans l’ordre du discours romanesque balzacien (La Fille aux yeux d’or).

Ce recueil de textes offre un vaste nuancier de micro-lectures sur l'Orient des femmes : non seulement sur les femmes d'Orient, mais aussi sur les femmes en Orient, les femmes et l'Orient. En explorant des domaines aussi divers que l'histoire de l'art, l'histoire des sciences, la littérature classique, la littérature de voyage, l'anthropologie, les sciences politiques et la psychanalyse, ces études apportent l'éclairage de prismes différents, voire divergents, sur une réalité par essence plurielle. L'étude des représentations picturales, de la présence ou de l'absence des femmes dans la science, les littératures et les sociétés orientales, révèle une existence constante du féminin, une existence réprimée ou exaltée mais toujours à la croisée de l'imaginaire et du réel.

Empire Girls: the colonial heroine comes of age is a critical examination of three novels by writers from different regions of the British Empire: Olive Schreiner's The Story of An African Farm (South Africa), Sara Jeannette Duncan's A Daughter of Today (Canada) and Henry Handel Richardson's The Getting of Wisdom (Australia). All three novels commence as conventional Bildungsromane, yet the plots of all diverge from the usual narrative structure, as a result of both their colonial origins and the clash between their aspirational heroines and the plots available to them. In an analysis including gender, empire, nation and race, Empire Girls provides new critical perspectives on the ways in which this dominant narrative form performs very differently when taken out of its metropolitan setting.

Jin Feng proposes that representation of the "new woman" in Communist Chinese fiction of the earlier twentieth century was paradoxically one of the ways in which male writers of the era explored, negotiated, and laid claim to their own emerging identity as "modern" intellectuals.
