Additionally, novels set in China, and Asia more generally, have a tendency to feature Asian women with cropped faces or body parts on their covers. “On fiction, you get a lot of headless Asian women and a lovely neck and hair, but no face, no identity…It’s the generic faceless woman trope.” “It’s the Orientalist ideal of Asian women as a target of desire in the Western eye."
