"Evans explores the changing identities of women and sexuality in Comminist China - from the 1950s expressions of an idealized 'woman" at the service of the state through to today, where the Party/state administration no longer controls all sexual activity, and where writing about women's sexual needs takes place alongside stories about the abduction and sale of women into marriage. Evans examines, particularly, changes after the Cultural Revolution, placing the full compass of sexual issues in the context of how the Chinese understand gender." (Publisher's description).
