Understanding modern Chinese women
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Elisabeth Croll is a prolific author in the area of Chinese women's studies, and proves even more so in this book. In it, she gives personal and more intimate details of women in China today, as well briefly reviewing with the reader some important points and occurences in the not so distant past. This book touches on topics that directly affect women's lives today. Namely, where are they going in the future? Women in China have gone through (literally) revolutionary changes within the past 50+ years. The most important change is in that of rhetoric itself -- Croll tells us of a common theme in women's lives -- a lot of egalitarian rhetoric with unsufficient action to implement this rhetoric through policy, etc. A great book for anyone interested in Chinese women, and the best part is, it leaves you gasping for more.
