Description

Urban Chinese Daughters explores how education and employment have transformed the lives of Chinese women, shifting them from dependency to self-sufficiency whilst traditional filial obligation persists. This academic study examines the emotional labour daughters undertake to sustain parent relationships, navigate conflict, and preserve their self-esteem in contemporary society. Drawing on interviews with women across Hong Kong, Singapore and mainland China, the book investigates both structural and relational motivations underlying familial support systems. Part of the St Antony's Series published by Palgrave Macmillan, this work provides essential insight into how Chinese daughters balance modern independence with ancestral cultural expectations, making it invaluable for scholars of sociology, anthropology and cultural studies seeking to understand gender roles and family dynamics in transitioning Asian societies.
