Description: "When a handful of elderly Chinese matriarchs resurrect their beloved women's college from the educational ashes of two revolutions, they hope to prepare capable girls for vocations in the new China. Who are these young people? What are their dreams and their realities? And how does the author, a retired psychologist with no ESL training, muddle through a decade of teaching them English, only to discover that she has been a student herself?"--
