Personal Voices: Chinese Women in the 1980's
Based on personal interviews and a study of the popular press, Personal Choices deals as much with the traditional values and roles of women in China as it does with their status in the 1980s. It skillfully presents the relationship between state policy and its effect on women, most notably with regard to economic reform and population policy, and also discusses women's status from preliberation to post-Maoist times. Although Elizabeth Croll's Chinese Women Since Mao (M.E. Sharpe, 1984), as well as Margery Wolf's works, may provide more depth on individual issues, this is an extremely valuable source.Frada Mozenter, Univ. of North Carolina at Charlotte Lib.Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
