Delia Davin (9 June 1944 – 13 October 2016) was a writer and lecturer on Chinese society and particularly Chinese women's stories.[1] She was one of the first foreign scholars to consider the impact of the policies of the Chinese Communist Party on women.[2]
From 1988 until her retirement in 2004, Davin taught Chinese history at Leeds University, where she became a chaired professor. She was also head of the Department of East Asian Studies and deputy head of the School of Modern Languages and Cultures. Before going to Leeds, she had taught in the Department of Economics and Related Studies at the University of York, where she was a founding member of York's Centre for Women's Studies.
The British Association for Chinese Studies elected her president for 1993–1994,[3] and the China Panel of the British Academy made her a member, as did the Executive Council of the Universities' China Committee in London.[2]
