Abstract
This study aims to explore the role of women as cultural entrepreneurs (wenhua qiyejia 文化企业家) in China’s rising cultural industries (wenhua chanye 文化产业) and new media. As a case study we analyse the rise of Anni Baobei 安妮宝贝 (Annie Baby, alias Li Jie 励婕, b. 1974), one of China’s first new Internet writers who became a literary sensation at the turn of the twenty-first century. She is worth a closer look as she started a new trend in cultural production and also epitomizes China’s new women cultural entrepreneurs. Although she counts among China’s most successful writers in reform-era China, there is a dearth of analytical studies of her works and career that this study aims to redress.
