Reviews
“Placing women characters in struggles against patriarchal tradition and present-day social barriers to gender equality, the five stories present from different angles Chinese women’s marital life in contemporary Chinese domestic settings. While portraying women’s efforts to gain equal treatment in the relationship between gender and family, the writers illustrate the women’s frustration and determination in their search for self-identity, recognition and independence.”
