all in a book on the Ming, and alongside the likes of Dong Xiaowan and Pan Jinlian, is in itself quite remarkable. Then again, this book breaks many boundaries, one of which is the one between Chinese studies and Chinese American literature. For indeed, myth is by nature a kind of pastiche, perhaps well exemplified by the fascinating and ambiguous works of the contemporary artist Hung Liu that adorn the front and back cover of Dangerous Women. Incidentally, the artworks that illustrate the rest of the book are from a variety of sources, a third of which produced in the late Qing, and not, as the back cover claims, "art of the period." The sources of the late Qing artworks are identified by studio names in Pinyin but most times without dating, and thus, readers not familiar with Chinese history may not realize that the artworks were produced and consumed in a vastly different world from that of the Ming.
