5.0 out of 5 stars
get out the hankies,
By RS "globlctizn" (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Women of China (Paperback)
If you are not moved by this collection of true stories, check your pulse and your breathing. Our author was the first ever woman radio talk show host in China. She piloted a first ever late-night "live" call-in program dedicated only to women's issues (a subject that was more or less ignored in China prior to the 1990's).Each chapter is a separate true story of the pain and suffering of life for women, under the dictatorship of the "beloved Chairman Mao". Most are from letters written in by listeners or calls made into the live broadcast. One chapter is on the author's own reflections of her life. Written after getting out of China (she now lives in England) in a frank, simple, open and honest style (translated brilliantly from Chinese) each chapter opens up layer upon layer of sexual abuse, torment and feminine tragedy. Easy to read, hard to put down and impossible to forget... I hope all my children will read this book to better understand this truly foreign culture and what they have gone through to get to where they are now. Reading this book has helped me better understand some of the complexities of the Chinese culture, at least from a "recent historical" point of view, both masculine and feminine. Great stories by a brave author. I'm sure this book is not available in any bookstore in China! Maybe one day....

Amazing book!,
By Ellen E. "A busy mom" (Zeeland, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Women of China (Paperback)
This is an amazing book! I have 2 daughters adopted from China, and I read anything I can get my hands on, that are REAL stories, that perhaps someday I can answer the hard questions that I'm sure they are going to have. I passed this book on to family members after I was done - just amazed by the stories!
