Description

This Routledge Contemporary China Series book explores the lived experiences of urban women workers in China during the economic reforms of the late twentieth century. Through extensive life history interviews, the author challenges conventional assumptions about socialism's impact on women's status and reveals how economic restructuring disproportionately affected female employment. The study applies feminist perspectives to examine the vulnerability of women workers to job loss compared to their male counterparts, moving beyond macro-structural analyses to centre the voices and stories of ordinary women. Drawing on rigorous qualitative research, this work provides essential insights into gender, labour, and social change in urban China during a transformative historical period.

Key Features

Based on extensive life history interviews with urban women workers in China, providing authentic first-hand accounts of their experiences during economic reforms.

Applies feminist theoretical perspectives to the Chinese context, offering a critical analysis of gender inequality in the workplace.

Published by Routledge as part of the Contemporary China Series, establishing academic credibility within China studies scholarship.

Challenges prevailing narratives about socialism and women's liberation by examining the consequences of economic restructuring for female employment.

Focuses on women workers' voices and agency rather than purely structural analysis, centring lived experience in understanding labour market changes.
