冯铿

Feng Keng was a woman writer active in the Republican period of China. Public information about her is limited: her birth and death years, native place, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the six works included in the collection, she wrote mainly social fiction and fiction about women. Her representative works include Selected Women's Fiction, The Final Way Out: How Women a Hundred Years Ago Saved Themselves, The Red Diary, Under the Moon, and A Pitiful Woman. The Final Way Out concerns how women a century ago sought to save themselves in difficult circumstances, while The Red Diary is regarded as a Red Classic, showing that her writing engaged closely with real social problems and bore the clear marks of her time. Her works often take women's fates as their point of entry, with delicate strokes and sincere feeling, and are representative of Republican-era women's fiction.
