The Good Women of China

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of China's late 1980s reforms, this collection captures the voices of women who called into Xinran's radio show, "Words on the Night Breeze." Through their candid stories, these women share their struggles, frustrations, and journeys towards self-awareness in a repressive society. Xinran, navigating government censorship, compiles these heartfelt accounts, creating a powerful oral history that sheds light on decades of civil strife and the resilience of Chinese women. The result is both poignant and inspiring.
