Abstrakt: The article discusses gendered transformations in the narrative "The Imperial Stele Pavilion" rewritten by two women xiqu or Chinese opera dramatists in the 21st-century. Topics include the implication of the dramatists' emphasis on innovation and renewal inherent in their gendered rewriting on the role of such recreation play in the perennial question of xiqu relevance, a brief background on women xiqu playwrights such as Bai Wei and Yuan Changying, and a description of the plot of the story.
