China for Womeneds ANNA GERSTLACHER & MARGIT MIOSGA
Travel & Culture
|
From the Palaeolithic to the present, Chinese women have held up half the sky.
Today they work as architects, soldiers, physicians and fruit growers, and some have travelled the Yangzi rapids in a rubber raft. China for Women is the perfect guide for tourist or armchair travellers. It neatly bridges past and present and brings to life the complex culture and history of China.
From the silk workers to reminiscences of the Cultural Revolution, the contributors write of work and of travel on trains and boats to Tibet and Guilin, along the Silk Road and though the streets of Beijing. The book concludes with Dos and Donts for travellers and recommended reading.
Sifting through the chapters of China for Women is much like devouring a luscious white peach . . . and they fill the soul in a way that has never been filled by other books about women and China.
Linda Wong, Sojourner
