Book Synopsis
The Communist revolution promised Chinese women an end to thousands of years of subjugation, an equality with men in all matters legal, political, social, and economic. This book examines the extent to which this promise has been kept.

Trade Review
'Margery Wolf is an anthropologist well practiced in observing, documenting,and analyzing the Chinese family, community, and society from the female perspective ... This book both sensitively records and astutely analyzes the details of women's activities, their relationships, attitudes, and aspirations, as presented and interpreted by women in China themselves.' Elizabeth Croll, The Times Literary Supplement
