Literature is accurate in assessing changes in mentality of society. The process of the women’s role transformation is the most complex and insufficiently studied issue still. The first part of the 20 century Xinhai Revolution overthrew the Qing dynasty and China had a great impact of Western culture. This is the era which the women’s movement also belongs. Even the novel “Wives and Concubines” author shows harsh reality of women from province, where the traditions, sexual politics, gender hierarchies, class are repressed them a lot. Within the narrative of novel women are abused by authority male culture. The Chinese revolution in 1911 didn’t change the main rules that govern society. There was still strong perception of power-related norms in people’s ideology about marriage, traditional role of women is linked to family, limiting the career development and ambitions. Women shall be defined as obedient and dependent in support their husbands even if they sacrifice their own careers.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье рассматривается роман Су Туна «Жены и наложницы» как исторический источник для изучения положения женщин в первой четверти XX века в Китае. Данный исторический период был полон поворотных событий для государства: Синьхайская революция 1911 года свергла династию Цин, большое влияние обрела западная культура. Именно к этому времени относится начало женского движения в Китае. Процесс трансформации роли женщины в китайском обществе является наиболее сложным и недостаточно изученным вопросом. Через анализ психологизма сюжетов, ситуаций, характеров персонажей, описаний природы и взаимоотношений героев в произведении Су Туна показаны социальные и политические особенности положения женщин в начале XX века. Автор демонстрирует, что, несмотря на прогресс в менталитете, китайская революция 1911 года не изменила основных правил, регулирующих общество, и стереотипы касающиеся положения женщин в нем остались прежними. Сохранялось влияние норм власти в представлении людей о браке, традиционная роль женщин была связана с семьей, ограничивая развитие ее карьеры.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Chinese modern literature</kwd><kwd>Su Tong</kwd><kwd>marriage</kwd><kwd>Xinhai Revolution</kwd><kwd>concubinage</kwd><kwd>women’s issue</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>китайская современная литература</kwd><kwd>Су Тун</kwd><kwd>брак</kwd><kwd>Синьхайская революция</kwd><kwd>институт наложничества</kwd><kwd>женский вопрос</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Duxiu Ch.
