The Good Women of China: Hidden Voices by Xinran

4.0

This book is both heartbreaking and fascinating, like many of the stories that have emerged about living through the Cultural Revolution. Xinran relates her own experiences and stories by weaving them through the stories of other Chinese women. These are stories she picked up as a journalist and radio personality during the opening up of China during the 1980's, and each one illustrates the ongoing plight of women in Chinese society.

I love reading about Chinese history, and I finished this book very quickly. If you have an interest in history, Chinese culture, or feminism, this is definitely a must-read.
