This one was just too much for me, the first story especially. I didn't end up finishing it because the sad and graphic stories, although based on true accounts, made me feel terrible. I know awful things happen in the world every day and that we need to be aware of them so we can help to change them, but there was no hope in the first part of the book that I got through. I would recommend a book like Half the Sky, where solutions are offered instead.

A hard but worthwhile read reflecting on stories uncovered while reporting on women’s lives in China during the Cultural Revolution. Some truly horrific topics, but sensitively reported and insightful. Worth the read, reminded me of ‘wild swans’ as it opens up stories of women in China

Mình đã khóc khi Hảo nữ Trung Hoa. Thật sự quá đau lòng và xót xa trước số phận của những người phụ nữ được kể trong chính cuốn sách này.
Un libro muy interesante, enriquecedor, siempre es bueno conocer de la situacion de la mujer en otros paises. Cada capitulo nos relata la situacion de diferentes mujeres, hay varios que suceden durante la revolucion cultural. No es un libro para todo el mundo, porque sus relatos son muy duros, algunos devastadores. No te quedas indiferente despues de su lectura. Algunas historias son especialmente dramaticas y es horrible pensar en lo que tuvieron que pasar estas mujeres. Estoy deseando leer mas libros de la autora y descubrir mas sobre China aunque no me guste lo que vaya a descubrir.
Although I am only half-way through this book, I absolutely adore it. It is well written, and at times, heart-wrenching. I particularly enjoy stories of women under Communism China so this book is right up my alley.
