書評：游鑑明《運動場內外：近代華東地區的女子體育（1895-1937）》

Over the last fifteen years, Dr. Yu Chien-ming 游鑑明 has emerged as likely the most important historian of early twentieth-century Chinese and Taiwanese women’s physical culture and physical education (體育). This 431-page tome focusing on women’s physical culture in Eastern China during the late Qing and Republican eras confirms Yu’s status and represents an impressive amount of research into this topic. Yu cites a very wide array of primary sources, including newspapers, magazines, memoirs and school publications; it is clear that she left very few stones unturned in her research for this volume.
