Self description: "Ling Lung Women’s Magazine was published in the 1930s in
Shanghai, China, at a time when women’s role in society, at least in that
sophisticated and foreign-influenced metropolis, was in rapid transition.
[...] Ling Lung, a pocket-sized, slender, and inexpensive weekly, boldly
ventured to meet these new needs by encouraging women to advance toward the
good life through socially high-minded entertainment. It was filled with
articles on fashion, interior decoration, pop psychology, and new careers;
and also advice columns on love, sex, and marriage, as well as lavish
illustrations of local and Hollywood celebrities. The wide array of
advertisements for women’s products are often just as revealing of life and
aspirations as the words of the text. In short, the magazine is a gold mine
for students of twentieth-century Chinese social history, and a balance to
much of the prevailing literature which tends to emphasize only the
political interests of the youth of that generation."

Description: The Ling Lung digitization project is located at the Columbia
University Libraries, New York, NY, USA. Detailed information about the
project is available at the web site.

Availability: Some issues lacking. All available issues accessible as GIF
