Halls of Jade, Walls of Stone. Women in China Today.
London. HarperCollins Publishers. 1986. Stock ID #143836 The Chinese revolution ended the hideous practice of footbinding and brought such basic freedoms as the right of women to choose their spouses, to own and inherit property, to be educated and to receive equal pay for equal work. But have Chinese women attained full equality? In this fascinating book, women from many backgrounds - including peasants, actresses, scientists, a defected tennis star and the only woman President of a university - speak out for the first time on issues curcial to their lives. Their picture of Chinese society is neither particularly flattering nor wholly negative - and the women themselves emerge as courageous, articulate and dedicated to China's future.
