Nor have I identified all the authors of articles, as many lesser-known journalists used pennames that are hard to track. Some men assumed feminine pennames to have their writing published in women's journals.

It is my hope that the book serves the purpose of paozhuan yinyu—throwing out a piece of brick with the goal of getting back a piece of jade. I expect that more scholars will study Chinese women's periodicals and share their refined scholarship.
