Abstract

“Nora”, serving as a cultural symbol for exploring the way out of the traditional home for women in modern China, has become the typical image of modern Chinese women for many male enlighteners. The numerous exoduses and return of “Nora” in modern Chinese history symbolize the complex interplay of traditional and modern culture and customs. Ladies’ journal, an important journal on modern Chinese women’s studies, has published multiple women’s daily experiences and gender issues in the context of social salvation and survival, reflecting the variation of Nora in different periods of Chinese modern history. This article draws attention to specific food writing, and further analyses its influence in Ladies’ journal towards the promotion and development of feminism, as well as the social discussion of women’s social and domestic responsibilities through the illustration of food discourses in the implication of characteristics and symbolisms gender-related topics in different editorial philosophies affected by ideological trends over time.
