Abstract

What can a low-budget 1940s B-film tell us about the global Second World War and the overlooked role women played in transnational resistance? In this article, I aim to ‘recover’ one of these films, Lady from Chungking (1942, dir. William Nigh) as a case study in a larger project that rethinks the highly visible role of multilingual women – in this case, actor Anna May Wong (1905-1961) – in transnational Chinese resistance and cultural diplomacy.
