The Good Women of China: Hidden Voices by Xinran

4.0

This book was is a hard read. Not because it is slow or has challenging grammar, but because of the subject matter. I read this for one of my World Civilization classes in college. This book contains multiple stories from and about the lives of Chinese women. Being marked as second class (to no status at all) is not the worst of it. Feet cutting, abuse in all forms, rape, being left for dead, and even some death are just a taste of what happens. Follow this read with something joyful and funny. You will need it.
