Abstract
This thesis examines the representation of misogyny in literary texts from the beginning of Chinese Australian writing in the late 19th century to the contemporary period. It focuses on the following questions: What is the nature of misogyny in Chinese culture? With successive waves of immigration, do Chinese people take their misogynous ideology and practices to other countries? What form does it take? Where does it originate and how does it evolve over time? How is it presented in literary works? How does misogyny in the host countries differ from that of the native land? How is it presented in literature at different times and from different perspectives, and more specifically, how is it presented in diasporic Chinese Australian writing?
