Seven Contemporary Chinese Women Writers

More about the book

THIRD PRINTING.1985 Chinese Literature MASS MARKET PAPERBACK. Chinese import. Gladys Yang (Editor). This is a selection of stories and reportage by 7 contemporary Chinese women writers with a wide spectrum of experience. They present a good cross-section of life in China, writing mainly about the later part of the seventies, although looming large in the background is the "cultural revolution" which disrupted countless lives. With honesty, courage and sensibility they show us the new generation gap in China, the cynicism of some of the youth, the avid pursuit of knowledge and skills of others, the difficulties of young married couples in over-crowded cities, or of professional women who want at the same time to be good wives and mothers. - Amazon
