A Window into a Hidden World

The Good Women of China offers a rare glimpse into the hidden world of Chinese women. We meet women who have been sold into prostitution, women who have been forced to have abortions, and women who have been abandoned by their husbands. We also meet women who have overcome incredible obstacles to achieve success, such as the woman who became a doctor despite being born into a poor peasant family.

The Good Women of China is more than just a collection of stories. It is a call to action. Xinran's book shines a light on the injustices that Chinese women face, and it demands that we take action to end these injustices.
