Editorial Reviews

Review

Following the success of the Feminist Press volume on Australia, China for Women provides another fine travel guide which presents a woman-oriented discussion of Chinese travel and culture. Chapters survey history and politics, consider contemporary life and women's issues, and depict Chinese women past and present in a book which is anything but your usual discussion of destination points. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: China for Women: Travel and Culture (The Feminist Press Travel Series) (Paperback)

At first glance, this appears to be a book about travel, but look more closely! As a parent of a Chinese daughter, I found the essays written here insightful. Stories recorded by Chinese women, comments about living and working in Chinese culture; I enjoyed this book and so have the friends to whom I have loaned my copy.
